Where Is 'Baby Jesus' Today?

Although our first picture of Jesus is as a baby in a manger, it must not be our last. The Christ Child in the manger has been the subject of a beautiful Christmas scene, but we cannot leave Him there. This tiny, helpless baby lived a sinless life, died for our sins, ascended to heaven (read 1 Corinthians 15:3-4), and will come back to this earth as King of kings (read Revelation 19:16). Christ will rule the world and judge all people according to their decisions about Him (read John 3:36; Acts 17:31). Do you still picture Jesus as a baby in a manger or even as a man still on a cross, or is He your resurrected Lord and Saviour? (Read Romans 10:9)                                                                       

We must never forget that the infant Jesus has moved on to take His place as the reigning Lord. He is no more in the crib, no more on the cross!  "God raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come." Ephesians 1:20-21

Precious Pearl:
-God cares so much about you that He sent His Son to die for your sins  (read John 3:16; 1Corinthians 15:3-4).
-Oh the wonders of His glorious love and my own worthlessness!

Jesus Hail!
Enthroned in glory, there forever abide;
All the heavenly hosts adore Thee,
Seated at Thy Father's side:
There for sinners Thou art pleading,
There Thou dost our place prepare,
Ever for us interceding
Till in glory we appear
Worship, honor, pow'r and blessing
Thou art worthy to receive;
Loudest praises without ceasing,
Meet it is for us to give!
