Wexford Carol - John 3:16-19

The simplicity of the Gospel is beautiful: God’s love for the world in sending his Son.  "The Wexford Carol" is of Irish origins, and like John 3:16, it is elegant but simple.  The message of Christmas and Christianity is that a good God has rescued us from darkness, sin, and death by sending his beloved Son.  "Good news", however, is more than information or ideology; it demands our response.  Christmas, at its core, carries a unique, counter-cultural, and even offensive message: we cannot save ourselves.
