The Manger and the Cross

When we picture Christmas, we often think of a baby wrapped in cloth, lying in a wooden manger.

But that moment of new life points forward to another moment. So different—it’s the cross.

In the Bible, God’s ancient book of truth, a prophet named Isaiah wrote a prediction about the savior that would come…Jesus. Isaiah said this, “But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so that we could be whole. He was whipped so that we could be healed.”

This Christmas, as you think about the birth of Jesus, consider also the cross. The baby born in Bethlehem grew up to be the Savior. He loves you more than you can imagine.

Welcome Him into your life. You can say, “Jesus, I believe that You came for the salvation of the whole world, and also for me. Forgive me. Help me to know You and follow You into eternal life.”

Always remember, there is hope with God.

Scripture Reference: Isaiah 53:5
