The Manger and the Cross: A Study of Contrasts

Picture the newborn Jesus, wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. Now, picture Him on the cross, bearing the weight of the world's sin. Two scenes, so drastically different, so irreconcilable... yet bound together in the story of redemption.

In this lesson, well trace the stark contrasts from the manger in Bethlehem to the cross on Golgotha:

• He was born to die, so we might live.
• He was born to wear a crown of thorns, so we could wear a crown of glory.
• He was born to be abandoned, so we would never be forsaken.
