“Unto you is born a Savior, Who is Christ the Lord.” That declaration tells us this child laid in a manger was born to save. But save from what, and at what cost? The shadow of the cross loomed over the babe in the manger. As we unwrap the promises and prophecies of God we find the most wonderful gift of a Savior. In a manger lies the One born to carry out the greatest rescue of all time: to save us from sin and from death itself.
