Read: Matthew 2: 1-12
“For this reason, I will confess to You among the Gentiles, And sing to Your name.”
Romans 15: 7-9
Many often forget the reason for the Christmas season, especially in relation to popular Christmas songs on the radio and streaming platforms like Spotify. Every Noise, a data-collecting service, has determined that Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" is the most popular song globally. According to them, while certain other popular songs mention the religious side of Christmas in a small way, the majority of songs center around themes of love, snow, and chestnuts.
Today, within the church, numerous hymns are sung that commemorate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, or the events leading up to His birth. While reading scripture, you encounter references to the Wisemen that correspond to the song "We Three Kings". In the same way that Luke 2:7 mentions how He was wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn, "Away In A Manger" also references this.
The popularity of music with Jesus has not diminished just yet. Several top Christmas songs are being played or streamed that are referencing Christ and the Holy Day.
The Temptations - "Silent Night."
Whitney Houston - "Joy To The World."
Perry Como's version of "Hark the Herald Angels Sing" #10 USA
Josh Groban and Faith Hill's rendition of "The First Nel" #90 USA
Nina Nesbitt's version of "O Holy Night" #93 Hong Kong.
While preparing your playlist this holiday season, please remember that Jesus is the reason for the Season.
