THE MANGER WAS CHRIST’S BED
By Scott Wendal
KING OF THE JEWS
The wise men followed a very special star to the land of Israel
asking, “Where is He that is born King of the Jews?”
When
they found Him in Bethlehem, they came worshipping and gave Him valuable gifts
of gold, frankincense, and myrrh that no doubt sustained the family when they
escaped to Egypt.
When
Jesus was born, they laid Him in a manger — a feeding trough for animals. It
was the very first KING size bed.
Jesus
had a very special birth — unique and one of a kind.
It has
been said that there are only four ways people have been born:
1. Adam — Created by God without a mother.
2. Eve — Created from Adam without parents.
3. All Mankind—Born as descendants of Adam and Eve.
4. Jesus Christ — Virgin born without an earthly father.
Jesus asked the Pharisees, “What think ye of Christ? Whose
son is he?”
The Pharisees were only partially right when they said, “The
son of David.”
Your
answer to that question will help determine your eternal destiny.
Jesus
Christ is the Son of God!
To deny
that fact is disastrous for your soul!
Yes,
Jesus is the King of the Jews, but He is also King of kings.
KING OF KINGS
At His
first coming, King Jesus came as a servant, and as a baby was put to bed in a
manger.
But at
His second coming, King Jesus will come as rightful Owner and Ruler of the
earth.
With might and power, the armies of the world are destroyed in
the Battle of Armageddon (Revelation 19), and as He returns John recorded that He has a
vesture and on His thigh a name written, “King of Kings, and Lord of
Lords” (Revelation 19:16).
There
will be no mistake as to who is the Saviour of the world and Ruler of heaven and
earth.
Christmas
is more than a time to remember that Jesus came once.
It is a time for us to remember His promise that He said, “I
will come again and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be
also” (John 14:3).
