What Child is This: A Hymn Bible Study
from Heavenly Harmonies Hosted by 3ABN Australia Radio
Why would the King of the universe choose to be born in total poverty? This episode is a hymn Bible study on "What Child is This," answering the carol's own questions — "What Child is this?" and "Why lies He in such mean estate?" — straight from Scripture. We look at Luke 2's shepherds and Luke 1:66's question about John the Baptist, "What manner of child shall this be?", then explore Philippians 2:5-11, which explains why Jesus voluntarily set aside His heavenly glory to take on "the form of a servant." This scripture behind the hymn devotional shows that Christ, though truly of royal lineage through David, chose humility as the way to win our hearts. In this episode, you will hear: - Why both shepherds and wise men recognised Jesus as King despite His humble birth - What Philippians 2:5-11 reveals about Christ's voluntary humility - How Jesus was truly descended from King David's royal line - Why this Christmas carol quietly foreshadows the cross Watch all the episodes on our Youtube channel at this link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL65y7saKkuQ03mbWZ60o_gNG0rRWVBFey
