She Laid Him in a Manger

Luke 2:4-7; Job 8:7; Zachariah 4:10  

“Who dares make light of small beginnings?” Jesus was born in a stable, laid in a manger, lived in Nazareth and died on a cross. Nothing indicated he would be of great influence, but he is the most influential man of all times.

Insignificant? I don’t believe so. God lived on earth as a man, so he could redeem us from sin. Maybe it was a seemingly poor and unimportant beginning, but the eternal result is unbelievably marvelous, wonderful, and awesome. The King of kings’ earthly debut started with a stable as his castle and a manger as his throne. The impact was eternal.

Prayer: “King Jesus, I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ. May I present you in a worthy manner to those around me.”
