The story
Every time this day comes around, I find it
fascinating to think about how God, with all power to create
any form, chose to send a baby who couldn't
save anything for a decade or two. God did not send a man
or a woman, nor a boy or a girl. God sent a
baby in the womb of a woman.
In the picture we see the
key figures in the story are a helpless baby and a woman.
Joseph was in the story as protector ....from what?...other
men and a merciless male society. Joseph wasn't there to
protect from women and babies and children! Wild animals,
maybe.
So why, all you experts, did God cause delay so many years by
sending a baby? Why send a vulnerable, helpless, dependent
creature to "save the world"?
And who doesn't see God or Christ in every newborn
baby?

Maybe--I'm guessing here--the manger wasn't big enough for an adult.
Right on,you Fox. The story came out of the picture...having to fit the image. Imagery is everything to a good story. Out of Africa
comes to mind.
