Why a Manger?

The following was written by my friend Ethel.

Why a Manger?

This Christmas Stop, and ask yourself, why Jesus, God's only Son our King, was born in a Manger? Ask yourself, who was Jesus sent to replace?

Jesus was sent to replace, the Sheep, the Cattle, and even the Dove. They were being sacrificed, daily in the Temple.

King Solomon, sacrificed thousands of sheep, goats, and bulls, when he dedicated his Temple.

God sent Jesus His Son to replace the sacrifice of the animals and even the dove. Jesus blood was shed once and only once for our sins. That is why God let Him be born in their home, a manger.

May God bless you, as you remember the special gift that God sent to you, over two thousand years ago. He sent His Son Jesus, so that we might have eternal life.

I pray that you will find, Piece, Joy, and Love, in the New Year, as you worship Jesus, “GOD'S MANGER GIFT”
