Scenes of Christmas, #3:

Something To Think About

Tradition says it was cave.  I've been to the grotto beneath the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem.  For a long time people have said that is the place where God the Son came into this world as a man.   It's hard to make a cave, so most of our creches depict the scene of Christ's birth as a shed--what we imagine a primitive tiny barn would look like.  That's how we depict the stable seen at our Live Nativity. Though, I'm sure that we are wrong, as far as the details are concerned, I'm confident we have it about right concerning the status.  Scripture says that "He humbled Himself," and that, "He became poor."     Isaiah predicts that the Lord would be despised and rejected, and, indeed, He was.   In life, He had no where to lay his head, and at death, it would appear that His possessions consisted of the clothing for which the soldiers gambled.  It is part of the wonder of Christmas.  We invite you to experience that wonder at the CBC Live Nativity. From 6:00 - 8:00 nightly  Come, bring your family, enjoy, learn.  We pray it will be part of the reason some come to believe, or find their faith strengthened.   "Oh come to my heart, Lord, Jesus.   There is room in my heart for Thee."   It's STTA.   Find lot's of information about how God stepped into our world to meet needs we cannot meet on our own, here.
