This is the night when God meets us in the messiness of each of our lives. From the fragility of birth to the struggle through adolescence to the learning of a trade. He lived our lives — from the forming of relationships to the conflict in families and even in the endurance of great suffering. In the humanity of Jesus, God took the initiative to create a lasting bond with each of us — the very bond that has been God’s desire from the first day of creation.
That’s why we sing. We sing because of the relationship. We sing because, in Jesus, God meets us in our solitude with a heavenly companion who walks alongside us during the living of our lives. We sing because we are known. We sing because we are understood. We sing because we have a friend in Jesus.
