The shepherds must have been
amazed how a baby would bring
00:05:18.81\00:05:22.88
peace to the earth. For the
most part the shepherds lived a
00:05:22.92\00:05:26.82
peaceful life while tending
their sheep. Yet the promise of
00:05:26.86\00:05:30.79
the Savior bringing peace filled
their hearts with joy. Imagine
00:05:30.83\00:05:34.46
with me how the shepherds
heard the beautiful music of the
00:05:34.50\00:05:38.07
angels while Jada plays

baby who would bring peace. Wise
men made the long journey after
00:07:35.52\00:07:39.02
studying the stars and knew
the scriptures from Isaiah were
00:07:39.05\00:07:43.19

Let me share with you a story
from my sister. She has five
00:14:28.46\00:14:31.03
children and if it's anything
like their family they love
00:14:31.07\00:14:35.74
Christmas 'cause they want to
do fun things and it's always a
00:14:35.77\00:14:38.87
special time and they are
looking forward to having a
00:14:38.91\00:14:41.81
movie when Daddy comes
home. You see the older two were
00:14:41.84\00:14:44.78
wrapping up gifts for the
neighbors and Mom was actually
00:14:44.81\00:14:48.75
putting the last batches of
cookies in the oven when the
00:14:48.78\00:14:53.46
lights started flickering
and you know that feeling when
00:14:53.49\00:14:55.16
you're like oh-oh and then the
lights go out, the music stops
00:14:55.19\00:15:00.10
and you can hear all the kids
saying aww, not on Christmas
00:15:00.13\00:15:05.07
Eve. You can identify with
that because they were looking
00:15:06.10\00:15:08.64
forward to a special time. And
so Mom was thinking, Hmm, well
00:15:08.67\00:15:14.58
maybe the lights will come on.
But as time went on the lights
00:15:14.61\00:15:17.21
weren't coming on. Five minutes
later she decided to light up
00:15:17.25\00:15:20.32
some candles. And she tried
to make the ambiance in the room
00:15:20.35\00:15:24.95
but, the kids were like Mom this
isn't fun. And Mom was thinking
00:15:24.99\00:15:30.23
oh what about the cookies in
the oven. But you know what she
00:15:30.26\00:15:33.86
thought of a time when she was
little going caroling. And she
00:15:33.90\00:15:38.33
said, Hey why don't we go
caroling. So the younger two
00:15:38.37\00:15:41.64
said, Mom what's caroling?
Oh that's when you go house to
00:15:41.67\00:15:44.97
house singing. And the kids said
Hey, we can do that. And so the
00:15:45.01\00:15:48.81
older two said I'll get my
violin. And so they brought
00:15:48.84\00:15:52.75
their violins, they put on their
boots and they put on their
00:15:52.78\00:15:56.12
coats and they went to the first
house. And at the first house
00:15:56.15\00:15:59.15
they sang some songs like Hark!
The Herald Angels Sing and then
00:15:59.19\00:16:04.19
they went to the next house and
sang Silent Night and then the
00:16:04.23\00:16:08.26
next house Away in a Manger.
And at that house the family
00:16:08.30\00:16:12.23
said, Hey we'd like join you
because they had some kids and
00:16:12.27\00:16:15.20
so they went to the fourth house
and on and on they went going
00:16:15.24\00:16:19.31
house to house singing Christmas
carols. Now you see they started
00:16:19.34\00:16:24.15
a new tradition and from then on
they would turn out the lights
00:16:24.18\00:16:28.28
and listen to music. There's
times we get so busy with
00:16:28.32\00:16:31.92
Christmas preparations that
we miss the real meaning of why
00:16:31.95\00:16:35.82
Jesus came in the first place.
He wanted to bring peace and joy
00:16:35.86\00:16:39.69
in the midst of darkness. So
maybe there's a new tradition
00:16:39.73\00:16:43.13
that you can start to bring
peace in your home and brighten
00:16:43.16\00:16:47.24
the hearts of people around you.
After all, God is with us, and
00:16:47.27\00:16:52.41
we have peace. Listen with me
as the K-voices sing Immanuel.

Matthew 18:20 says, For
where two or three are gathered
00:20:53.75\00:20:58.45
together in my name, I am there
in the midst of them. God is
00:20:58.49\00:21:02.59
with us and wants us to receive
from Him the peace that only He
00:21:02.62\00:21:06.70
can provide. One of the verses
of the next song includes these
00:21:06.73\00:21:11.27
words. Truly He taught us how
to love one another. His law is
00:21:11.30\00:21:16.04
love and His gospel is peace.
Let's think about what that
00:21:16.07\00:21:19.91
means, as we listen to It,
Came Upon a Midnight Clear.
