The First Noel

 

The first Noel the angels did say 

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star 

Shining in the east, beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made heaven and earth of naught

And with His blood mankind hath bought

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel

Born is the King of Israel

Verse 1

The first Noel the angel did say

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

In fields where they lay keeping their sheep

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

저 들 밖에 한밤중에 양 틈에 자던 목자들

천사들이 전하여준 주 나신 소식 들었네

Chorus

Noel Noel Noel Noel

Born is the King of Israel

노엘 노엘 노엘 노엘

이스라엘 왕이 나셨네

Verse 2

They looked up and saw a star

Shining in the east beyond them far

And to the earth it gave great light

And so it continued both day and night

저 동방에 별 하나가 이상한 빛을 비추어 

이 땅 위에 큰 영광이 나타날 징조 보였네

Verse 3

And by the light of that same star

Three wise men came from country far

To seek for a king was their intent

And to follow the star wherever it went

Verse 4

This star drew nigh to the northwest

O'er Bethlehem it took its rest

And there it did both stop and stay

Right over the place where Jesus lay

그 한별이 베들레헴 향하여 바로 가더니 

아기 예수 누우신 집 그 위에 오자 멈췄네

Verse 5

Then entered in those wise men three

Full rev'rently upon the knee

And offered there in His presence

Their gold and myrrh and frankincense

저 동방의 박사들이 새 아기 보고 절하고 

그 보배합 다 열어서 세가지 예물 드렸네

Verse 6

Then let us all with one accord

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord

That hath made heaven and earth of naught

And with His blood mankind hath bought

Dec 15, 2024 "The Heart of Waiting for Christmas" (Matthew 2:1-6)

 

The Heart of Waiting for Christmas  

Matthew 2:1-6 

 

Many people knew about Jesus but they responded differently. 

 

Matthew 2:1-2 ESV 

[1] Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, [2] saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  

 

King Herod wanted to keep his authority and did not like the news that there was another king of Jews. Sometimes we are like King Herod. We do not want Jesus to be our King and we do not want to submit to his authority 

 

The chief priests and the teachers of the law were aware of Jesus birth and identified where Jesus would be born. However, instead of going out to seek Jesus, they remained where they were with their knowledge. They were more interested in remaining in their place and their comfortable positions. Although they knew of the messiah and his coming, they were indifferent to this great news. 

 

Jesus came to the earth because He loved you. 

 

The Magi were also aware of Jesus' and followed a star to find Him. When they did find him, they worshipped him and gave gifts. 

 

The Magi demonstrated their understanding Jesus' kingship, humanity and divinity. They acknowledged his divinity and sacrificial love.  

 

We can choose to be like King Herod and cling onto our power and refuse to follow Jesus. We could also choose to be like the chief priests and scribes who know the scriptures but do nothing through indifference. Or we can be like the Magi and humble ourselves and seek out Jesus
