Welcome to the Paul Tripp podcast, where pastor and bestselling author Dr. Paul David Tripp connects the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.

As we approach Christmas, we'll listen to a reading from Paul's Advent devotional audiobook.

Come, let us adore him.

In this entry, Paul encourages to celebrate the birth of Jesus

by singing six of his favorite hymns. Here's the audiobook narrator, Bevan Greiner, reading Paul's

December 23rd devotional.

What better reason to sing than this? The Savior is born to live, die, and rise again to fix what sin had broken.

The angels sang when Jesus came, but they're not the only ones who sing.

We human beings sing.

We can't stop singing. Children sing, And old men sing. People from every period of history sang. People from every place, of every race, and of every ethnicity, sing. If you listen carefully, you will notice that we tend to sing about what has captured our hearts. We sing about what makes us sad.

We sing about what makes us happy.

We sing about people we love.

We sing about our hopes and dreams.

We sing about what's important to us.

We sing silly songs about what makes us laugh.

We sing about what makes us angry. We sing about what makes us angry.

We sing songs of love, exhortation, comfort, and warning.

There's probably not a day in your life where you haven't sung or haven't heard a song.

We sing.

The question is, what song has your heart?

Could there be any more important song than the song the angel sang of the birth of the

one who came as the hope of humanity?
