Jesus, Lord at Thy Birth

Description

The famous hymn, “Silent Night,” refers to Jesus with a startling phrase—”lord at thy birth.” Considering the circumstances, baby Jesus hardly seemed destined to be lord of anything. Born into poverty, soon to become a refugee, this child should have been overlooked and forgotten. And yet, we sing about him some 2,000 years later, proving the song true. Jesus may have looked insignificant when he was born, but as John 1–2 show us, there was always much more to Jesus than people expected.
