I love the declaration voiced in a line from I Heard The Bells on Christmas Day, “God is not dead nor doth He sleep!” What a line in the midst of a Christmas carol. You can hear the note from a bell that starts with the muted thump of the knocker hitting against the side of a giant bell and then the swelling sound of that specific note ringing out.
The “thump” of meaning from this line voices a powerful truth as God’s silence between the testaments has been broken with the Word. He’s at work with purpose redeeming the world. He’s giving his only Son to show His love. Can you hear the bells?
