The Nativity Scene

Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

The Nativity scene, as simple as it is, reminds us of a profound truth: The moment God became flesh.

In our Christmas programs at church we celebrate the love and grace of The Lord Jesus, Who willingly laid aside His heavenly glory to be born in the humblest of circumstances.

We may find humor in the costumes and antics of the children as they dramatize the Nativity scene, but I hope it touches something deeper within our hearts. I hope it stands as a constant reminder that God loves us; that He came to this world to die for us; that He paid an unthinkable price to provide a glorious salvation for all who receive Him.
