December 9th, in the Year of our Lord 2022 God's grace haunts us at Christmas. In a world that actively rejects Christ and His law, we all, believers and many unbelievers alike, sing not just about God, or about Grace or Love, but about the sovereign reign of Jesus Christ over all. How did this happen?
This is an excellent, insightful article. I've noticed people who give their testimony of salvation can speak on and on about God's goodness (which is appropriate) without ever mentioning the Name of our Savior. It would be nice if Jesus was mentioned in books and movies; it would be even better if the church re-created an internal culture where we can earnestly sing "Veiled in flesh the God-head see! Hail the incarnate Deity! Pleased as man with man to dwell, Jesus, our Immanuel!" on a daily basis.
Thank you Mr. Goodwin, great stuff. I am just getting going on Substack, I would love your thoughts on what I have so far if you have a chance to look. Here's one I wrote on some Christmas hymns: https://codyilardo.substack.com/p/four-ol-christmas-songs
