What Child Is This?
It is at this time of the year that the hearts and minds of many the world over are turned to the birth of God’s Son. While no one definitively knows when our Lord entered into this world as a babe, it is important none-the-less to recognize that many around us stop to consider His birth. As Luke tells us in his gospel account, the first crib for this most important child was a manger, a common feed trough for animals. But who is He and what makes Him so important? To my knowledge there is no other individual in all of recorded history who has been recognized and worshiped to the extent of this child. This morning, I would like to encourage you to walk with me through the pages of Scripture as we look at what God’s Holy Spirit reveals to us about this infant born in Bethlehem over 2,000 years ago. Who is He?
