Consider this…
December 23, 2008 – 7:26 am Perhaps Jesus could have arrived on the scene as
a 30-year-old
man, just in time for his ministry. But instead, He arrived as a
baby, affirming the immeasurable value of every human life from the
earliest stages.
Christmas also boldly proclaims that life begins at conception.
While Jesus was still in the womb, less than three months in utero,
the Bible records that Elizabeth’s baby “leaped in her womb.” Think
of the profound pro-life statement that was made at that moment —
one preborn baby (John) recognized the personhood of another preborn
baby (Jesus)!
Jesus came to a family of no wealth or influence and in a situation
that had great potential for the perception of scandal. Yet God gave
Joseph and Mary the courage to face truly unprecedented obstacles in
order to ensure that Jesus would be raised by a mother and a father.
The Savior of the world was placed in a family that did what it had
to do to provide Jesus with the care and protection He needed from
infancy to adulthood. God placed incredible trust in the family
then, as He does now.
