Did you know that when Jesus was a child and a young man, He worked with wood and stone? He helped His father Joseph build houses. He was a builder!
But Jesus came to build a house far more important than one made of bricks. He came to build a little home inside our hearts for Him to live in. Christmas is the day that Builder arrived in the world. The manger (that little bed of straw) was His first "house" here on Earth. It was simple, but it was the strongest house in the world, because Love was there.
