Lying in a Manger?! - An Invaluable Gift in an Unsightly Package

Dec 22, 2024  •  Nick Weber

Have you ever wondered why Jesus was laid in a manger? What is the Son of God doing in an animal's feeding trough? He's the greatest gift we could ever be given and yet he's wrapped in such shoddy paper. Why? The Bible provides us with at least three reasons: (1) because the world Is upside-down; (2) because Jesus has come to die; and (3) because everyone is welcome.
