Have you seen and listened to some of these RANDOM ACTS OF CULTURE on YouTube? Marvelous renditions of Handel's Hallelujah Chorus have filled malls throughout the USA. We associate the Hallelujah Chorus with Christmas, but its place in the Messiah musical narrative comes at the celebration of Christ's resurrection, not at His birth in Bethlehem.
How appropriate that we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ at Christmas. The death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ makes Christmas worth celebrating.
"For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" (Revelation 19:6 KJV). Hallelujah!
