Holy Infant So Tender and Mild

From eternity, Jesus has been God, holy and majestic. When we look tenderly at the holy infant, we are

looking at the same God who once told the prophet Moses, “No one may see me and live.” Yet, Mary,

Joseph, and the shepherds all saw their holy God and survived. How? God became human, hiding his

glory within flesh, so that he could come to us without instilling fear or dread.

A famous theologian once said, “We are to think of the Lord’s birth, where the Word became flesh, not

as a past event which we recall, but as a present reality on which we gaze.” It’s not that Christ the Savior

was born. It’s that Christ the Savior is born.
