The baby Jesus still exists in the American Christian subculture as a kind of non-threatening mascot for the holiday season. The only problem with this is that the Bible doesn’t present the baby Jesus as warm or sentimental at all. This Advent, we allow the second coming of Christ to re-shape our hearts and minds. We must remember that ultimately we will not coo over him in a cradle beneath us. Rather, we will give an account to Him as our sovereign judge and glory to Him as our sovereign king.
