total praise [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] of my life [Music] my [Music] you are [Music] uh [Music] grace [Music] right [Music] this indeed has been a challenging year for so many and our final three songs of the first half the songs which talk about comfort which talk about hope we all need hope in these times none of these songs were special requests by you the audience and this very first one says there is a bomb in gilead to make the wounded whole may you find comfort as you listen to this song is [Music] me [Music] is [Music] [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] jesus [Music] oh [Music] so two see [Music] soon [Music] joy comes in [Music] foreign [Music] me troublesome [Music] foreign [Music] just [Music] but jesus christ [Music] is [Music] found remember there's a friend of jesus [Music] oh [Music] jesus i know [Applause] [Music] know [Music] jesus [Music] is [Music] my face [Music] [Music] god [Music] oh [Music] [Music] souls oh [Music] is [Music] foreign [Music] my [Music] in the [Music] i shall [Music] my [Music] in the [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] hallelujah [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and it came to pass they went out a decree we read in verse 1 and then verse 3 says and everyone the whole world went to his own town to register why because they are afraid afraid of whom caesar augustus a king who has almost unlimited power who built a kingdom in order to spread his glory and so into this enemy's territory god sent a helpless newborn baby i will tell you the best part it's found in the verse 10. in verse 10 it says but the angel said to them don't be afraid i bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people today in the town of david a savior has been born to you he is christ the lord now to understand and appreciate this you need to know that in greek language there are two ways of saying and give or giving a negative command you either say do not start doing something or you say do not continue doing something here is the second case so the angels say do not continue to be afraid now why is it that the angels say do not continue to be afraid why the people do not need to be afraid anymore because people were not afraid only of caesar augustus they have been afraid of their god god for them for centuries even millennia was a celestial version of augustus or nebuchadnezzar saying you better do what i say and so people had a wrong picture of who god is but now the angels are singing we bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people for everybody why because this child is a king of another kind he is the savior he is the king he is the messiah he is the lord he's the revelation of god who he was all the time looking at this child you can see who god is look at this newborn baby when roman caesar wanted to win a war he sent his army he sent a roman legion but to win a war to bring about peace god of the universe sent a helpless baby no one is afraid of a late of an infant and that's why the angels are singing you do not you don't need to be afraid anymore you don't need to continue to live in fear and trepidation before an awesome deity there is a king of a different kind there is a kingdom that is built on different principles there is a throne which is not founded on a military power there is a king of the universe who bases his government on love freedom admiration and trust and that's why the angels say today in the town of david a savior has been born to you but do not make a mistake do not underestimate this king he is christ he is the lord a king of a different kind yes the incarnation is mind-boggling it means that the world became flesh the eternal became boxed in time the infinite restricted himself to her body omnipresence came in weakness perfection came to carry our guilt shame and sin but the best part is this the best part is this child he came for you he came so that you and i can have peace of a new kind he came so that you are and i are not afraid of god anymore he came so that you and i see god in a different light and that's the message of christmas that's why this child is so special [Music] so [Music] so oh so [Music] me [Music] oh foreign [Music] oh [Music] so foreign [Music] hey so [Music] [Music] you hear me [Music] me [Music] is [Music] my face [Music] is [Music] is [Music] myself is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] nice [Music] [Applause] so jesus jesus [Music] you [Music] jesus [Music] oh [Music] foreign [Music] me [Music] jesus [Music] jesus [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] well we actually felt your energy as you were moving along to that song we thought we might break protocol this year and finish with something completely different from before jesus is a rock [Music] jesus [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] is [Music] [Applause] [Music] jesus is [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Music] has he ever picked you up when you were down [Music] is [Music] is and he is [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh [Music] [Music] [Applause] so [Music]
