Long ago, a Savior was born and hidden within a humble birth; covered with the cloak of humanity, His presence impacted this earth. Although we remember His birthday, know that Christ is no longer a child; He stopped being an infant, who was… helpless, quiet, tender and mild. He grew in strength and wisdom; He demonstrated His holy authority; He lived as He divinely taught; He set the example, for you and me. He gave of Himself completely and paid the ultimate sacrifice. He embodied God’s covenant of love; His actions were timely and precise. After suffering the shame of crucifixion, He was briefly buried in a rock-hewn tomb; three days later, He triumphantly exited with a glorified body from Resurrection’s womb. Today He lives and sovereignly rules; so people of faith, it’s time to agree that we must continue to live Godly lives, seeing that… the manger is still empty! Author Notes: Loosely based on: Matt 1:18-2:15, 27:46-54; Acts 2:22-24; Heb 7:25; 1 John 2:1-2; Rom 8:34 Learn more about me and my poetry at: http://www.squidoo.com/book-isbn-1419650513/ By Joseph J.

Poem: The Manger Is Still Empty
Long ago, a Savior was born and hidden within a humble birth; covered with the cloak of humanity, His presence impacted this earth.
