The shepherds heard some of the first Christmas music. Many preachers will say that the scripture says nothing about the angels singing, but instead “praising God and saying.” I believe, whether spoken, shouted, or sung, the words heard by the shepherds that night on the Bethlehem plain filled their ears, eyes, hearts and minds with music. Christmas music is important to us as a church and to us as a culture—so much so that artists continually write new music for Christmas and produce new albums year after year. There are Christian Christmas albums, Country Christmas albums, Rock Christmas albums—I even received a Comedy Christmas album this season. Why? Because Jesus gives music to the season.
