The Baby In His Arms



Picture this …

A lone figure is standing at the top of a grand staircase made of the most perfect pearl – brightness surrounds him – emanates from him.  And if you look close enough, you can see that he is holding something – but what?

As if on cue, in the grand scheme of some celestial clock, He begins walking down the staircase.  Slowly He walks, as with great intent.

Walking, standing perhaps a bit taller and more proud than the normal man would stand. 

And as He descends, we can just make out what is in His arms – it looks like … a bundle, a package of some kind, but what?

Onward He descends.  He is coming straight to us.

And as He reaches our level, His arms reach out and he hands us … 

He hands us a baby.


And the baby’s name is Jesus!  
The Christ!  
The Son of God.

A Baby
   The Son of God
      Our Savior
         Our Redeemer
            Our Friend


… All wrapped in a blanket of love. 

This is our gift from God.


Merry Christmas.
