Truth

Every year I take a picture of my favorite manger set that we put out at Christmas. And every year I so enjoy looking at each hand craft piece admiring the simple beauty. But I’m well aware that the original manger scene probably wasn’t all that pretty. Uncomfortable, hard, smelly and unsanitary for a woman to give birth. This was the way God chose to have his Son come to earth.
“The best way to see majesty is to strip away everything that pretends to be majestic so that which is fake wholly collapses in the face of that which is majestic. And God in a manger is likely the most remarkable example we have of such a monumental truth.”
