No Matter How Low...

This Christmas I was touched by a special significance from one word in the Christmas story as told in Luke 2 In the Holy Bible. (Luke 2: 2 - 22)

There was NO room in the Inn. How about the barn? That will have to do. We'll have to make due and improvise with what we have. Are you beginning to catch a theme here? God could have chosen to bring His only Son into this world anywhere! But he chose the lowly manger. Think about what that truly represents... IF the Savior came into this world ( and HE did!) in the lowliest of places during that time in history, do you have ANY doubt whatsoever that there is NO place TOO low that he would not meet you to Save your Life? He is there waiting - no matter where, no matter how low, no matter how far gone, no matter whether you believe you're worth it or not. All you have to do is accept Jesus as your Savior, repent of your sins, and commit your life to Him.

The manger? Have you thought about it lately? What it actually is? How is a manger defined? - a feeding trough for farm animals.


Today we urbanites can relate that to a Cat Bowl or a Dog Dish. Seriously... Really? Think about it! Do you think he will not meet you no matter where you are?

Where are you? Right this moment? No matter where you are, this is evidence he will meet you!


So the only question is - will you ask him to meet YOU? Even when we are believers, we can find ourselves in dark valleys of doubt. True...or not?

What are your thoughts about the manger? Do you believe God can come to you no matter how far away you are?

Luke 2:12 (New International Version, ©2010)

12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Luke 5:32 (New International Version, ©2010)
32 I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.”
