Jesus, the Christ, is the Eternal One, for in the fullness of time He humbled Himself. John's description is plain: the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us. I confess I would have liked to have seen the baby Jesus. But the glorified Jesus yonder at the right hand of the Majesty on high, was the baby Jesus once cradled in the manger straw. Taking a body of humiliation, He was still the Creator who made the wood of that manger, [and] made the straw.
