My wife Sharon handed me Mannheim Steamroller’s Morning Frost CD earlier this week. I started listening to it today. It seems an appropriate title with all the cold weather we’ve had this year. The CD is a collection of rehashed numbers mostly but still fun.
I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and enjoy the memories of the best of Christmases past. Of course, being an evangelical, I don’t celebrate a mass of Christ. His atonement is finished with eternal results. He is risen. He is coming again as a resurrected Warrior King. He will subdue kings and kingdoms and install righteousness on the earth. So I do celebrate the Advent of Christ—only I anticipate his Second Advent. I guess I like some of the Renaissance themes in Christmas because they capture the idea of Christ as the coming King—albeit an infant one. Soon, he will come to reign indeed (Revelation 11:5).
Maranatha!
