“Away in a manger, no crib for His bed,

The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head…

The cattle are lowing, the poor baby wakes,

But the little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes.”

Silent

No Significance

The Bible places the emphasis on a crucified Savior, not a baby in a manger

“No crying He makes”

No marching orders

So sweet and cuddly

No blood

No sacrifice

The Death of Christ Demands a Response!

It is easy to bow by the manger of the little Lord Jesus,

But it is very difficult to stand before the cross of Christ!

It is in Christ death that we find

Redemption

Sanctification

Propitiation
