The Baby in the Manger
I remember the first moment I laid eyes on my daughters, how small, how helpless, how fragile they felt in my hands. The responsibility I felt to protect and nurture these tiny humans was overwhelming. We all enter this world with a blazing fragility, totally dependent on those in whose care we are placed.

And it sounds pleasing to our ears when we hear such things. However, it takes

If ever there was a piece of good news to counter corruption, injustice, and deceit, this easily overlooked passage is it. What on the surface may look like a little Bible-speak (nice words to include in a public prayer) is, in reality, the underpinning of our confidence that justice is still possible on the earth.
