BEHOLD, THE BOY LYING IN THE STONE-WALLED MANGER WAS GOD WITH US.
The King of the entire universe was lying somewhere in a manger on a hill below his great city, in Bethlehem, at a distance of 10 km from Jerusalem, there were Mary, Joseph and Jesus.
He, God who does not dwell in temples made by human hands, was lying in a simple barracks carved out of a mountain of rock. A simple manger because there was no other place, neither poor nor rich, to host them in the spring.
The Christmas boy would grow up and walk through those lands of Israel. And he, made man, would be arrested, flogged, crucified and resurrected.
Yes, and now that boy made man would with His Spirit dwell in millions and millions of children, young men, young women and men and women everywhere throughout history forever.
May your body be the manger that shelters Jesus as an eternal dwelling. This body of yours that will be transformed on the great day is a manger, it is a true temple, it is the house of God with billions of others who receive the Glory of God forever.
This is our Christmas message for you and your family!
