Danger in the Manger


In the book of Revelation, the declaration is thundered in heaven, "Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the heir to David's throne, has won the victory. The statesman-prophet Isaiah declared 800 years earlier, "For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule the fairnes and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The passionate committment of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen."
Are you sure you understand who this babe in Bethlehem really is? The Lion and the Lamb who will rule heaven and earth with justice and truth. The Danger in the Manger is nearer than you think. Wake up, His Kingdom will come and His will be done.
