Even though it's January 5th, it's still Christmas! The Christmas season in the church is 12 days. (That's where the well-known song came from.)
I thought I would share one of my favorite pictures of the Nativity with you . . .
Most pictures of Jesus's birth focus on Mary with Joseph in the background. This one (from Concordia Publishing House) shows Joseph delightedly holding Jesus with Mary sleeping - since she had just given birth! Maybe because I am a father, I like this perspective.
Do you have a favorite picture of Jesus' birth? Why is it your favorite? What a wonder, that God would do this for us, come as a tiny baby to be our Saviour by ultimately giving that life up for us on the cross. What love! Love for you.
