Isaiah 53:7-12— …He poured out Himself to death and was numbered with the transgressors, yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors.
While reading through Scriptures related to Christ’s coming and His birth, this image of Christ pouring Himself out for us struck me.
Along with the more traditional star and stable symbols I included a red egg representing His shed blood to complete the real Christmas story.

A Debt I Can’t Repay

Romans 5:8— …But God demonstrated His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
A nest is like the foundations we build, the place where we put that which is most important to us…LOVE.
Can love be bought with money? On credit? Why would someone give us money when we haven’t yet earned it? Yet wasn’t Jesus given to us when we weren’t worthy? When we had nothing of value to offer in return?
Christ was the treasure that lay in a manger. And He was given to us when we couldn’t pay the price for our sins. Christmas isn’t about worshiping the straw. Its about what was IN the straw. The gift of Love.
