So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:4-7

And Mary gave birth to Jesus. This baby was born with a mission for the redemption of man. This baby was born to redeem and reconcile. The Christmas Story (the birth of Christ) is the line to the cross. Without Christmas, there is no cross. Without His birth, there is no sacrifice. Without Jesus, there is no Easter. When you see the manger this Christmas, don’t miss the cross.
