☦️
God the Son Himself came down from eternity into time, from heaven to earth, from the throne of glory to the shepherd's cave, solely to save man, to cleanse him from sin and to lead him back to Paradise. ‘I came forth from the Father’, where He had everything, ‘and am come into the world’, that could give Him nothing. The Lord was born in a cave, to show that the whole world is a dark cave that only He can illumine. The Lord was born in Bethlehem — the House of Bread — to show that He is the only Bread of life worthy of true men.
