Look back..into that dark cave!

It is God's way to begin "small".He once started to save the world.We might have supposed that in revealing the terror of His majesty and the beauty of His love He would rend the heavens and so astonish the world that they would only be beginning to forget about it now after two thousand years but He did not.He started with a Baby in a cow-stable.He could scarcely have made a smaller beginning.Lookback.Look into that dark cave.A flickering torch casts huge shadows of long-horned oxen on the rough-hewn walls.There is no sound but the low crunching of the cattle as they munch their hay. There in the midst of them is the young mother,forgetting for the moment her discouragement and discomfort and sickness.For there in her arms lies the Babe,her baby boy and about his face still plays the light of heaven,from which he came and the unclouded purity of its skies still lingers in his eyes. O little Babe of the stable,who would dream that thou art a King?Who would imagine that from that throne of thy sweet mother's arms thy power would reach down along the ages,overturning kingdoms,establishing empires,changing the world and even today so many proud nations should own thee as their supreme Lord and King-that thou,O gracious Babe,shouldst be enthroned in so many faithful hearts,who would gladly lay down their lives and all they hold most dear for thy name's sake?Friends,mylotters who can say that He or His Father did not exist?
