Hi, brothers and sisters. This passage by the apostle Paul encapsulates the essence of the real identity of Christ.
He came to this earth as a baby born in a barn. Well, you would expect to see sheep in a barn, and He was the Lamb of God. He was wrapped in swaddling strips of rags to be cradled in a feeding trough where grain was given to feed the animals. He is the grain of wheat and fell from heaven and was placed in the feeding trough, the bread of life. The lamb of God was born in a barn. Where else would you expect a lamb to be born? The inn rejected him and this rejection became our blessing. As He was wrapped in rags, we are wrapped in His robe of Righteousness.
The lamb born in a barn said, as he grew up, unless you drink my blood and eat my body you will have no part with me. (John 6:48-58)
He came to serve as a servant, to give His life as a ransom for many. Are you a servant? Are you blessed? Jesus came as a lamb at His first coming. He will come the second time as King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
God be with you all, I pray you have a wonderful Christmas with your families. Together we can look forward to a new year expecting God's best.
