The Witness of the Manger



From the Catholic Liturgy for Christmas, Dec 25, 2016. Luke 2:1-20. The animal's manger in the stable of Bethlehem is a powerful witness to the reality of WHO Jesus is and the TRUTH of Christianity as the religion revealed on earth by God himself come in the flesh.  When we humans make up our gods and religions, we do not fabricate a God who becomes a vulnerable dependent human, born into a peasant working class family, and who will ultimately be rejected, tortured and executed. Instead, we fabricate gods who are full of power, prestige and position; gods who are string, handsome, powerful and domineering. Look into the manger again...and see Who is really there asleep in the hay.
