Journey To The MangerSample

He Longs for Us  

Jesus was God before time began—He was the Word through whom all things were created. He was in the Garden with Adam and Eve. His heart received sin’s first blow of violence that broke the intimate bond between Him and His beloved creation.

Throughout time, He watched His people struggle. He freed them and led them through the desert. He longed for them to desire Him alone, yet their hearts were far from Him as they worshipped worthless, man-made idols.

Think about how Jesus would have watched and prayed from heaven’s doorway year after year. So when the fullness of time had come, consider His joy in finally coming to us as our Savior.
