The Gospel of Luke contains five songs by key participants related to the coming of Jesus that first Christmas, each of which contains rich theological truths to renew our minds and shape our hearts as we prepare for Christmas.

John 20:1-18

John 12:9-33
When the rich young ruler calls Jesus “good,” he is confronted with the truth that only God is truly good and he is helpless to manage his own salvation.
