A handful of gifted musicians turned in an awe-inspiring performance of an upbeat and catchy tune about the birth of Jesus Christ and how everything changed instantly. 

God lovingly sent His one and only Son into the fallen world to save sinners. Without Christ's birth, death and resurrection, all would have remained lost and condemned. But Christ’s birth in a lowly stable in Bethlehem forever changed the course of history. Now, all have a chance at everlasting life with Him.

In a clip posted on YouTube, the Gaither Vocal Band sings “Gloria,” a song about the difference Christ’s birth made to a lost world. Jesus Christ's arrival was the most important birth in history. It was a moment that instantly and forever changed everything for so many. 

Before Christ’s birth, the singers mention how everything was dark. There was not a single light in the sky. Darkness covered the sky. But Christ's birth in the inn changed it all, everything. Hope had come into the world.

“Gloria, dark became light, 
Everything bright
Gloria, Emmanuel Christ is born tonight
There were angels everywhere, their singing filled the air
They said don’t be afraid”

Christmas is a terrific time of year, filled with numerous traditions and other annual activities. Friends and family gather to exchange gifts, share meals and enjoy each other's company. Precious, dearly held memories are created during these occasions. 

But despite all the meals, the presents and traditions, those joyous gatherings are empty and worthless if they do not honor, recognize and celebrate the birth of the Savior. 

Christ was sent, born of a virgin in a stable, to save mankind from its sins. Praise God for His love and mercy that He sent his one and only Son to save sinners and give all a chance at everlasting life!

John 1:14 “And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us (and we beheld his glory, glory as the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.”
