The Miracle in the Manger
“She gave birth to her first child, a son. She wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger.”
A feeding trough held the Bread of Life. The Son of God, wrapped in cloth and laid in hay - this is the miracle of Christmas. Majesty wrapped in humility. Divinity wrapped in humanity. Let the wonder of that night fill your heart with awe. The Savior came close… for you.
Reflection
Take a moment to reflect: What does the birth of Jesus mean to you personally?
