Silent Night & Oh Holy Night

My Seminary Life

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode we are wrapping up Hymns of Christmas as we complete our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today's guides are Silent Night & Oh Holy Night. After recapping and taking a brief look at Isaiah 9:6, I talk about this important aspect to the good news of Christmas that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the peace to whom God has given to those He has given His grace, the peace that Micah prophesized about. What does it look like to live at peace because Jesus is peace? How does the imagry of Silent Night and the social justice message of Oh Holy Night play a part in us understanding what it means to be at peace? Also, I look at the war and poverty surrounding one of these hymns, and the Unitarians are at it again with our second Christmas hymn today. Bonus, I wrap this whole series up in a nice little bow by quoting part of Dr. Maya Angelou's poem Amazing Peace.
