Looking at the cradle that Jesus was birthed in... a borrowed manger.
Looking at the grave He was buried in.... a borrowed tomb.
As both those events are an important part of His story. The most important facts come from what happened in between.
Back in 2005 we had a rough year with three deaths in succession from Aug to Dec. It rocked us to our core and they will have life long effects on each of my family members. 2 of the deaths were grandparents who were older and sick. But my sister in laws death was a shocker, 35 years old, single, teacher. So much like our Lord's story.
But all three of their deaths made me look at what their lives looked like between birth date and death date. That is what really matters and what is so vitally important. Live to glorify God and point others to Him.
Some people have a long dash between their dates and others are much shorter.
This song by Mark Harris held us up at that time and the words speak to HOW WE ARE TO LIVE!
