Go Tell It On The Mountain

Christmas is a time of awe and wonder, a sacred season where the divine enters into the ordinary, where the eternal becomes tangible, and where hope is born anew. And the message of Christmas, like the star that guided the wise men, calls us to look beyond ourselves and share this glorious truth with the world: God is with us.

“Go tell it on the mountain” is not just a joyful refrain; it’s a call to action, a reminder of the great announcement that first echoed across the hills of Bethlehem. The Savior was born—on a quiet night, in a humble manger—and yet this miracle was meant for all to hear. The angels declared it, the shepherds rushed to see it, and the whole world would be changed because of it.

Today, we too are invited to “go tell it on the mountain.” Whether we stand on literal hills or in the everyday moments of our lives, we are called to share the truth of Christmas: that love came down in the form of a child, that peace is possible, and that joy is available to all who believe.

This message is not just for us to receive—it is for us to carry, to proclaim, to embody. It’s not just about the presents, the trees, or the songs—it’s about a Savior who calls us to love one another as He has loved us. Christmas is a reminder that we are not alone, that in our darkest moments, light shines through, and that hope is always on the horizon.

So, as we celebrate this season, let us remember that we are bearers of good news. Whether we share it in the quiet corners of our homes, through acts of kindness, or with bold voices in the streets, we are called to “go tell it on the mountain.” Let the world know that God’s love has come near, that the Savior is born, and that peace is here.

This Christmas, let’s not just keep the good news to ourselves. Let’s share it with joy, with love, and with hope that the world might hear and believe. Go tell it on the mountain!
