Aug 9, 2019 · But Jesus did not stay a baby in the manger. The reason we celebrate His birth is (1) because of who He is – the Son of God – and (2) because of what He came to do – to save His people from their sins. Because God is holy, He must punish sin. If sin is to be forgiven, it must be covered by an adequate sacrifice.

The opening of “A Christmas Carol” is “Marley was dead, to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that.” Dickens continues with, “This must be distinctly understood, or nothing wonderful can come of the story I am going to relate.” The start of Ebenezer’s story does not begin with him. Dickens makes sure his readers know that. Marley's Ghost ...
Ebenezer Scrooge and Bob Cratchit also carry biblical symbolism throughout “A Christmas Carol.” Let us begin with the latter: Bob Cratchit. Before we simply glance over his first name, the name “Bob” also carries meaning—though not biblical. Still used today, the term “bob” is Victorian British slang for a shilling. Dickens uses this symbolism to p...
Children are often used as vessels to tell the truth and to point out what the adult mouth rarely voices. It is not uncommon to see a child who is experiencing suffering, to have a brighter outlook than their adult counterparts. This is primarily due to their innocence and how they tend to view their circumstances through a simpler lens. Tiny Tim i...
Charles Dickens has been quoted calling “A Christmas Carol” his “ghostly little book.” Fitting as we are presented with four important ghosts throughout the tale. First, there is the ghost of Marley—whose death is told at the beginning (a biblical symbolism noted above) and who had the first visit to Scrooge foretelling the visitation of the next t...
When we live a life of sin, we live in darkness. We do not prosper from His Divine Mercy or the light He gives us. All our earthly vices and cravings are temporary and never promised—wealth, beauty, and fame are all fleeting. So, may we remember that greedwas almost Ebenezer’s downfall, and may we strive to do better for us and those around us. The...

Dec 23, 2019 · The cheery tune of “Hark, the Herald Angels Sing” was not the author’s idea. Charles Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism, requested a slow, somber melody when he wrote the song in 1739, but apparently it wasn’t terribly popular that way. In 1840, a new collection of carols featured a melody adapted from a cantata by Felix Mendelssohn.
Biblical Meaning of “Carol”: Bringing Joy and Praise. In the realm of biblical symbolism, even seemingly ordinary words such as “carol” hold profound significance. Derived from the Latin word “carula,” meaning “song of joy or celebration,” a carol is more than just a traditional holiday tune. It carries a spiritual depth that ...

Dec 18, 2019 · And the bells are ringing (peace on earth) Like a choir they’re singing (peace on earth) In my heart I hear them (peace on earth) Peace on earth, good will to men.
