Angels From the Realms of Glory
By Jan Ross | 1 Comment
Many of the song writers of old seemed to have a common goal . . . share the full gospel in song, making known the love of God as evidenced by the birth, life, death, resurrection, and ascension of His Son, Jesus the Christ. “Angels From the Realms of Glory” is another one such song, based on Luke 2:13-14:
“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.”

Joy to the World
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
It is so easy to take the traditional Christmas songs for granted, thinking they’re out-dated or old-fashioned. Nothing could be further from the truth. “Joy to the World” was actually written to a musical score entitled “Antioch”, named after the city of Antioch where believers were first called Christians (see Acts 11:26).
“Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise. Sing unto the LORD with the harp; with the harp, and the voice of a psalm. With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the LORD, the King.“ (Psalm 98:4-6)

Who is that Masked Man?
By Jan Ross | Comments Off
I remember as a child watching “The Lone Ranger”. I will never forget the phrase that got its popularity from this program: “Who is that masked man?” Of course, we all knew who it was — it was obvious in all he said and did. The mask couldn’t hide who he really was.
About 2000 years ago One was born that was “masked” as well. His mask was human flesh. But when looking at His life, all He said and did, the mask could never hide His identity. He was God in flesh!
“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)
