KEEPING CHRIST IN A CRADLE
The World prefers to keep Jesus in a cradle where He is innocent and powerless. the dare not allow Him to be Lord and God much less our suffering servant.
In the movie Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby (a movie I could not watch in its entirety and has no redeemable value in my opinion), the main character, Ricky Bobby, a race car driver, prays as follows:
Ricky: Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, in your golden, fleece diapers, with your curled-up...little fists pawin' at the air...
Chip: He was a man! He had a beard!
Ricky: I like the baby version the best!
