While waiting in anticipation of Jesus Romans 8:19-23; Luke 2:25; Isaiah 49:13 2. Because Jesus is our consolation Luke 2:30-32; Titus 3:4-7 “Their zeal in glorifying and praising God is an implied reproof of our indolence, or rather of our ingratitude. If the cradle of Christ had such an effect upon them, as to make them rise from the stable and the manger to heaven, how much more powerful ought the death and resurrection of Christ to be in raising us to God?” ~John Calvin 3. About Jesus our redemption Luke 1:68-69; Hebrews 9:28; 2 Timothy 4:8 NEXT STEPS Reread Luke 1-2 and celebrate with these people as they sing hymns of joyful outburst when they encounter baby Jesus.
