In the Christmas carol, "God rest ye Merry, Gentlemen," the tidings of comfort and joy refers to the prophecy of Isaiah 40:1-2 and the announcement of the angelic host in Luke 2:10-11. Despite the rather shallow understanding of many people concerning the message of the peace, comfort and joy of Advent, the comfort is because Christ came to atone for our sins and the joy is the joy of salvation. The tidings of comfort and joy brings us relief from the weariness of life in a fallen world and gladness of heart that Christ has overcome the world.
