The Bethlehem manger wasn't random; it was prophetic.

A lot of folks don't realize that when the Bible talks about Jesus being laid in a manger, the Greek word for it is "phatne," which just means a feeding trough. In Bethlehem back then, these were often carved from stone.

What's really striking about this is the shepherds around there. They raised lambs specifically for Temple sacrifices. Right after birth, they'd check each lamb for any flaws and put the perfect ones in a manger to keep them safe from getting hurt, since only spotless lambs could be used in offerings to God.

So here comes the Lamb of God himself, placed in the exact spot where those sacrificial lambs were protected.

And who do the angels tell about his birth? Not rulers or religious leaders, but these shepherds, guys who knew all about sacrifice, blood, purity, and flawless lambs.

When the angels said, "You'll find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger" (Luke 2:12), it clicked for them right away.

This wasn't some ordinary child. He was the ultimate Lamb, the one who'd remove the world's sin. From day one, Jesus was set apart for sacrifice, not by people, but by God.

"Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)

*Jesus is the reason for the season.

Merry Christmas!

@Bevo_Baker @drnknfsh @_jayythegreat_ He was saying they’re wasting their money because he’s going to the NFL. Folks need to stop looking for reasons 😂

Alright, this dude and his family define what it means to have HEART. I love it. His mother has me over here cutting onions. 🥺 @1waytreway you’re an incredible player and are going to do amazing things with that grit and determination on and off the field. 🔥

Steve Sarkisian told us that at the beginning of November he challenged the offense to find its consistency in the run game. Quintrevion Wisner accepted that challenge in stride. Wisner's mom Angie couldn't be prouder. #HookEm #SECChampionship

@FortyAcreVibes Honestly, our Offense isn’t exotic it just simplifies things for Quinn. And Georgia knew so many of our plays when the ball was snapped. Our receivers also need to cause separation like Helm in the final few minutes. And what happened to our pocket protection!?

@jcokechukwu I’m a huge fan of Vivek’s response and approach here. But so many resharing this debate assuming this woman exposed herself on purpose towards the end to get him banned on YouTube is ridiculous.

🇺🇸 WORLD’S LARGEST 3D-PRINTED NEIGHBORHOOD NEARS COMPLETION

The 45 feet (13.7 m) wide 3D-printer from ICON is finishing the last few houses in Wolf Ranch, a community in Georgetown, Texas, about 30 miles from Austin.

ICON began the project in November 2022 and the company says this method is much more cost-efficient and minimizes waste.

ICON senior project manager Conner Jenkins:

"It brings a lot of efficiency to the trade market.

So, where there were maybe five different crews coming in to build a wall system, we now have one crew and one robot."

@JakeSucky Bro, my wife has a massive butterfly garden and yes those ladybugs are GOLD because they eat 50-60 aphids per day. Aphids kill your milkweed which feed the butterflies, so those are no bueno. We’ve lived this life. 💯

@Brodiesmith21 @Bijan5Robinson Also, hilarious reaction from Kelsey seing your reaction. That card is GOLD.
