How We Come to the Manger
"And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks by night. And the angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them and they were terrified...'Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.'" (Luke 2)
Sometimes we forget that those words of good news of great joy that came for all mankind were delivered to individuals. The word "you" appears four times in these few verses.
God loves all mankind because He loves each! Don't ever think you are unimportant individually in God's great rescue plan.
Don't let yourself get lost in the crowd.
Remember Jesus tells us that He call us individually by name.
We come to the manger as we come to the cross......one by one!
