More Than a Beautiful Baby

Your eyes will see the King in His beauty.” Isaiah 33:17
There is a commercial on TV about insurance. It opens with a mother holding her newborn baby and gently saying, “Look at you.” Another mother does the same thing. Then a father takes the baby and repeats it again. As a grandfather of fifteen I can say that I have been privileged to hold many beautiful babies. When the shepherds came to that stable so many years ago, what did they see? They saw a baby, a beautiful baby, but not just a baby, but the beauty of who He would be.
The angels had said this baby would provide the beauty of salvation. He would be the king. He would herald a world of peace. The shepherds didn’t just see a beautiful baby, they were privileged to see God in the flesh. Here lay the radiant beauty of hope for them, for their families, for all mankind. At the Second Advent we will again see the King in His beauty and then also in His Glory. 

Dear Father, Help us not to just see a babe in a manger, but the beauty of God in Him. Amen.
