So our traveling stops today in Bethlehem that of course is where we must eat! Why do we need to eat here? I am so glad you asked.
“Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” Luke 2:4-7
I marvel at the scene of Christ’s birth and the beauty of the imagery. Bethlehem where Christ was born, means “House of Bread”, and where He was laid, a manger is a feeding trough. God divinely ordered all these details because they represent who Christ is. So this is why I say we are invited to eat because God laid our Christmas present in a feeding trough.
“This is the bread which comes down out of heaven; so that one may eat of it and not die. I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I give for the life of the world is My flesh.” John 6:50-51
Let the Christ of Christmas feed your soul this Christmas! He is all you need!
Merry Christmas!!!
