“And then she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped
him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place
for them in the inn.”
–Luke 2:7-
“O LORD God of hosts, who is mighty as You are, O LORD, with
Your faithfulness all around You? You rule the raging sea; when its waves rise,
You still them…The heavens are Yours; the earth also is Yours; the world and
all that is in it, You have founded them.”
-Psalm 89:8-9,11-
This baby laid in a manger is the same King of creation.
This baby born to the broken earth of a virgin is the God who created the
swelling oceans and the cross-shaped protein Laminin (literally the glue of
your body). This King has the might and ability to control the entire universe.
Yet, He humbled Himself to be born in a barn. He did not come to the Earth in
wealth or comfort. Jesus came as a selfless servant. Every moment of Jesus’
life on Earth is a picture of perfect love. Our Savior was humbled to be born
in a stable, because the town had no room for their own Creator. More than
that, Jesus grew in stature and wisdom, lived a sinless life, and surrendered
Himself willingly to death. Christ defeated death, sin, and hell. He rose from
the grave and now sits at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. Our King has
walked our steps before we were even formed in the womb. He knows our hearts
intimately. He yearns to walk with us. Realizing His peace and rest grants
surpassing satisfaction.
