Entering into the Christmas season brings about a feeling of nostalgia and sentiment. When I think about having a sentimental Christmas, I can’t help but think about the first Christmas when “Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.” (from Luke 2:19)
Jesus was born in a manger, which was a feeding trough for animals. We can learn many lessons about our life with Christ from the manger.
Can you imagine being the first person to get to see Jesus in the Flesh? That would be mind boggling. In today’s world, there is no way you could even come close to an encounter with a baby of a celebrity or world leader, and this Baby was the King of all Kings! You would think that you would have to be of the utmost importance to have that honor! However, things aren’t always as they seem.
