At Christmas time, the part of Jesus’ life that we think about most is, of course, His birth and the Peaceful Manger Scene Or Two T Rex Fighting Over A Table Saw Shirt. We hear sermons about it, see nativity scenes eveywhere, perhaps even notice the Bethlehem story referenced on secular news broadcasts. What we all too easily forget at this time of year, however, is the reason that little baby came. He was born to die! We may not like thinking about that; the brutal death that awaited the peaceful infant at the center of our manger scene. But think about it, how can we truly celebrate the birth of Christ without taking into account the reason for His arrival.
