A Curse, A Cradle and A Cross
Langford unwraps for us a Christmas package that opens much like a Russian doll. Insight follows insight, and just when you think there are no more to be revealed, yet another gem is exposed. The real wonders of Christmas are found in the fact that God has conquered pagan festivals by making them serve Christ; in the “yes” of a simple Jewish maiden who believed and obeyed, knowing it would mean her shame and dishonor; in the dedication of her husband who willingly shared that dishonor and served the mother of our Lord with incredible devotion; and most of all, in the willingness of God to trade the riches of heaven for the sweltering poverty of Nazareth and endure incredible agony for the love he bore his creation.
