“For unto us a
child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.” (Isaiah 9:6)
The Baby in a
manger more than 2,000 years ago changed my life, He changed my heart, He
changed my perspective, He changed my way of thinking, He changed my direction,
and I can go on and on…That little Baby did not remain in a manger; He grew up
in an unpleasant place called Nazareth. He was born in a very small city of
Bethlehem which means the “house of bread” . He grew up as a very wise boy, a
little boy who is full of wisdom and knowledge that even the doctors, and
lawyers asked questions on Him. (Luke 2:39- 40) If you will just look at this
little boy from the manger to Nazareth: imagine how He would become a good
teacher, a healer, a writer, and the greatest philanthropist in the world since
the time of Adam and Eve up to the present, it’s beyond our imagination.
The little Baby
in that little manger with the sheeps, and other animals is the Savior of the
world. He is the Messiah, and the King of kings. He is the one who shape up my
life, and He can do the same to you. He is the one who showed me the way from
darkness to glory. He is the one who gave us joy, peace, and satisfaction that
this old world could never do. He is the CHRIST of CHRISTmas, the only reason
for the season, and the center of the celebration. He is the reason why we have
the steadfast love of the Lord. He is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and
the End. He is the Eternal God, the second person of the holy Trinity. He is
the only way, the truth and the life. (John 14:6)
