“Desire” the Gift of Christmas

Joy-tothe-WorldOh, how all of us desire! From infancy to infirmity across all humanity, desire is instinctive, hard wired into the human experience of life. It well may be the greatest gift God has ever given because God’s ultimate reason for mixing it into our DNA is that we eventually realize that our upmost and highest desire is the desire for His Son, Jesus Christ whose significance we celebrate each Christmas.

300 years ago, Johann Sebastian Bach composed “Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring” heavenly music that arouses reverence and stirs your soul, singing of him as “wisdom’s holiest treasure” where we “drink of joy from deathless springs”.  He alone will be the only one to bring Peace on Earth from the terrors of this world. That is a gift we all should desire.

If you desire this gift, listen to Celtic Woman’s exalted emotional voice transport you back through time not just 300 years ago when Bach was inspired but to the very night Christ was born on Christmas Day, you will hear how angles sing.

Joy!

John Harrison
