Christ’s life began by being born in a manger. Christ’s death saw Him being nailed to the cross. Both manger and cross can be seen as symbols of strength in Christ’s life. Both made of wood, the manger held and supported his tiny body as the cross bore his adult body. Yet neither of these symbols of strength could compare to the love that God has given to us through His Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. In God’s love, He became human for us through the birth of Jesus. In God’s love, Christ broke the bonds of death to free us from sin. How can there be any greater love?
Every day during this Advent season, I have intentionally looked for Christ in the people and events that surround me. Every day I know God’s love is still very much alive. Soon we will pass through Advent and rejoice together as we remember God’s love for us. It started in a manger, and it continues beyond the cross.
