Advent Songs: O Come All Ye Faithful | Day 10

Day 10 | O Come All Ye Faithful

Scripture to Ponder: John 1:1-18

Written by various authors throughout the 15th and 16th centuries, O Come All Ye Faithful beckons believers to come and worship the Christ. Come all you faithful, joyful and triumphant, for Jesus came not to condemn the world, but to triumph over sin and the curse.

Most Christmas carols and sermons focus on the nativity scenes in Matthew and Luke; however, O Come All Ye Faithful acknowledges Christ’s Incarnation from John’s Gospel. Jesus is the uncreated Word of the Father, God the Son, who helped hang the lights in the sky and breathe life into mankind. The baby in the manger is the same God, who said, “Let there be light.” The star that shone over Bethlehem symbolized the light that shone from him into the darkness, and the darkness, try as is it might, could not overcome it.
