We continue to examine the songs of Christmas. This week, Zechariah's "Benedictus" declares that the Messiah is a "horn of salvation".

We will study this passage to understand the implications of the profound biblical teaching that every believer has been adopted by God.

We will examine John the Baptist's song, "Parati Vium Domini," (prepare the way of the Lord) to understand how we can prepare our hearts to receive rightly the Christ of God.

Twice in Lord's Day 4, the Heidelberg Catechism refers to God's just punishment for sin as eternal. What does that mean? And how can that be just? We will study various scripture passages to find out focusing our attention on Psalm 36.

Luke 2:14 records the famous words of the song of the angels: "Gloria in excelsis Deo!" We will study this song to understand what the angels meant when they declared "peace on earth and good will toward men".
