Holy Week Meditations from Handel's Messiah

And the Angel said unto them
Luke 2:10,11

And the angel said unto them, Fear not; for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

And suddenly there was with the Angel
Luke 2:13

And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,

Glory to God
Luke 2:14

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.

Rejoice greatly, O Daughter of Zion
Zechariah 9:9,10 (Matthew 21:5)

Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; Shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee. He is the righteous Savior. .
. . . And He shall speak peace unto the heathen.

Then shall the eyes of the blind
Isaiah 35:5,6

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing.

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd
Isaiah 40:11

He shall feed his flock like a shepherd; and He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those that are with young.

Come Unto Him
Matthew 11:28, 29

Come unto Him, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and He shall give you rest.

Take His yoke upon you, and learn of Him; for He is meek and lowly of heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.

His yoke is easy
Matthew 11:30
His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.

These are so great, Kim! I can almost "hear" the music in my head as I read the verses. My aunt and uncle and I go to a local performance of Handel's Messiah every year around Christmas that is done at a historic church in Detroit. (Sigh!) :) Hope you are doing well - how did your heart tests turn out?
