Jesus was a baby born to die. He had been expected since the fall in the Garden of Eden – Gen. 3:15.
Every lamb, ram, goat, bird, etc., that had been sacrificed down through the ages pointed to this special birth.
He is why — Noah built an Ark, Abraham built an Altar, Moses built a Tabernacle, Solomon built a Temple, and God built a Hill called Calvary.
The Jewel of Heaven came down to earth to be our Savior.
A man by the name of Odell McLeod wrote about it in this old song — “From The Manger To The Cross”.
“Amidst the stranger's cattle, where the birth of Jesus came, — The lonely manger kept Him from the cold. — And there was the beginning of the journey Jesus made. — Today it is the greatest story told
“From the manger to the cross, rugged cross of Calvary, — The road that Jesus walked for you and me all alone — By the world forsaken, still He shed His blood for me — From the manger to the cross, the rugged cross of Calvary.”
Ideas for this unprofitable blog are taken from The Sermon Notebook—Biblical resources for preachers and teachers of the word of God. They allow these sermons to be used as the Lord leads but not for profit.
