The Christ of Christmas

I really love the message of truth that these verses share. I hope you'll take the time to read it and take it to heart.

The Babe in the Manger

Do you worship the Babe in the manger,
But reject the Christ of the Cross?
Your redemption comes not by the manger,
But the death of Christ on the Cross.

If you worship the Babe in the manger,
But ignore the blood of God’s Son,
To you Christ is only a stranger,
Til you trust the work He has done.

The Babe in the manger was God’s only Son,
Who came to the world to die.
The Babe in the manger could never have done
The work of His God on high.

The Babe left the manger and went to the Cross
To pay the wages of sin.
Your way of forgiveness is not by the Babe,
But the Christ who died for your sin.

– W. S. and Mildred Dillon

This Christmas, I pray that you'll remember why it was that God sent His only begotten Son into the world. Think about it, have you looked beyond the Babe in the manger and accepted the Christ of the cross as your personal Lord and Savior?

Merry Christmas!
