Earlier today DebbieLynne had a video of a Christmas Flash Mob singing at a mall. They weren't singing "Jingle Bells" or "Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer." They were singing about Jesus and His birth.
Singing hymns and other songs about Jesus usually is limited to churches or the homes of Christians. But Jesus is the one who made all of Creation. (See John 1:3) Therefore I believe that anywhere in all of creation it is an appropriate place to sing praises to Jesus.
Unfortunately, many people oppose even the mention of Jesus, especially in public places. But the group who performed that flash mob event wanted to share their joy about Jesus with others who wouldn't be likely to stop by their church.
There was a time when groups would sing Christmas carols throughout their neighborhoods, going from house to house. This year a group from our church went to a hospital to sing carols for a man who couldn't get to church because of health problems. Both he and others at the hospital got to hear the carolers singing songs about the birth of our Lord Jesus.
Jesus is worthy of our praise. It is good to talk about Him and sing about Him. I hope there will be more of both for the rest of this Christmas season and throughout the year.
I hope you will enjoy this Youtube video of the Christmas Flash Mob by Journey of Faith at the South Bay Galleria in Redondo Beach, California, which took place December 24, 2010.
