Will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? 2 Chronicles 6:18
In wonder, the wisest man who ever lived, asked a question that he did not know the answer to. Solomon questioned how a great God who could not be contained in the heaven of heavens, would dwell in the temple he was about to build. How could such a thing be? Our Lord’s incarnation answers Solomon’s question. Yes the God of heaven, came to mankind at Bethlehem and grew up in Nazareth, so He could go to Calvary and become our Redeemer. —Milton Haack
O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight. —P. Brooks
