Written by Peter Stobart, Who is this Baby? is a Christmas Carol performed at this year’s Service of Nine Lessons and Carols at St Fin Barre’s Cathedral to celebrate Bishop Paul Colton’s 25 years in the Episcopate. The words are taken from the sermon preacher by Bishop Paul on Christmas Day 2016.

These stories were told and recorded to answer the question ‘who is this Jesus born in Bethlehem?’.

There is no shell hole or hell hole where the love of God cannot reach. There is no darkness too dark; for he is the light who ‘shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it.’ Alleluia.

Who is this baby, and what does he mean for us in our time?

He is Jesus, Saviour, Messiah and Lord. He is ‘the Christ.’ He is son of man, and son of God. He is Lord, Redeemer, the Way, Truth and Life; the light of the world; the star of Bethlehem, and Prince of Peace. Alleluia.

The Carol is available on YouTube.
