You're Beginning to Look A Lot Like Jesus

“You're Beginning to Look A Lot Like Jesus”

2 Corinthians 3:17-18 KJV

17Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 18But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

You remember that song, “It’s beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas,” by Bing Crosby. While this song was reportedly released a few times by various artists, first recorded and released by Perry Como and The Fontane Sisters with Mitchell Ayres & His Orchestra in September 1951 and there was also a version released by Michael Buble’ in 2011, however, the version I heard was the version performed by Bing Crosby.

As the title hints, “It’s beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas,” is a song that romanticizes the pagan holiday known as Christmas and the signs you’ll see that indicates that time of the year is near. Some of the signs outlined in the lyrics are is the carol that you’ll sing, the toys in every store and the prettiest sight to see, is the holly that will be on your own front door.

Very evocative and festive song that really puts you in the mood for egg nog and Christmas cookies, but when I heard it in my spirit was right after I asked the Lord this one question, what is with all the spiritual warfare I am encountering? This is when I heard you’re beginning to look a lot like Jesus and the way I heard it reminded me of the song, “It’s beginning to Look a Lot like Christmas.” I was like huh?
