Who was that child in a manger?
Jesus asked His disciples that question.
He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
Matthew 16:15
Peter answered the question correctly.
And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.
Matthew 16:16
Who is Jesus to you? This is a question all must answer, and one that is impossible to avoid. Those who refuse to deal with the question in essence chose to reject Jesus as the Christ.
The right answer is, Jesus is everything, and we each must believe and accept that for ourselves.
Jesus is the First and Last, the Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He always was, He always is, and He always will be…
Jesus is light and love. He is Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and
He is God Almighty.
Yes, Jesus is all in all. In Him and Him alone “dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily” (Col 1:19; 2:9).
Today we begin to celebrate the Christ Child born in a manger. The only One who was, and is, Everything!
Merry Christmas!
