It is interesting to ponder the baby who became a King. He was brought into the world in such humble settings. His place of birth was less than perfect. His first swaddling left much to be desired. His first visitors were farm animals, and then came shepherds fresh from the fields.
It was not a very exciting way to welcome THE KING,
was it? His birth surprised the establishment of the day as
well.
They were looking for a deliverer.
Instead they got a baby.
They were looking for a warrior to overcome their
oppressors.
Instead they got a baby.
They were looking for a hero.
Instead they got a baby.
But most of all …
they got love.
Ponder the child in the manger.
Love expressed in the most wholesome, beautiful way.
Love expressed in innocence.
Love expressed in cries in the night, just like the
sounds any normal baby would make.
Love expressed through a lifestyle of peace,
compassion, caring, loving, and passion.
Never before had the world seen such a life, nor will we
ever see it again in such a pure state.
This baby, this little one named Jesus grew to become
…
Well, what do you need this Christ Child to be in your
world?
Do you need …
A friend?
He is.
A healer?
He is.
A savior?
He is.
A comforter?
He is.
A model of integrity?
He is.
A pathfinder?
He is.
A protector?
He is.
What child is this?
Indeed, what child is this!
