Today, we had our annual service at the Momiji residential home for the oldies (but goodies!) and the Sunday school students did this cute play about the real meaning of Christmas. Basically, little Matthew is all confused about what Christmas is all about, so he asks his friends at school. One tells him it's about great gifts, another tells him it's about food (ahaha, but isn't it??), and then...classic answer, "Christmas is the birthday of someone very special! It's SANTA'S birthday!" Oh dear. That one was so funny though. But anyway, it does go into the real meaning of Christmas, and their teacher tells them that it's the day we celebrate the birth of Jesus and explains why he came to earth. Anyway, the girls in Chrysalis also sang, "Mary did you know", which I absolutely love.
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you’ve delivered
Will soon deliver you
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know
That your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little boy
You’ve kissed the face of god
Mary, did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
And the dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the lamb
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy is lord of all creation?
Did you know
That your baby boy will one day rules the nations?
Did you know
That your baby boy is heaven’s perfect lamb?
This sleeping child you’re holding
Is the great I am
It's amazing that 2000 years later, a lot of people still celebrate Christ's birth. And I keep thinking lately, how amazing would it be to see Jesus walking on water?
