We went to our Christmas Eve service tonight (thankfully they had a service the day before Christmas Eve since we'll be out of town), and this is one of the songs they sang during the service. It's talking about how Jesus chose to come as a baby rather than any other way that He could have chosen. He came to us as an innocent, helpless, little baby - showing us that He came in peace, not wanting to come by force. His life was in our hands for the entire time that He was a child - the hands of the world who, for some, choose to not recognize Him as the Savior He is. He is so different than any other 'self proclaimed' Messiah - He IS the only Messiah and Lord.
My prayer is that if you do not know Him, that one day you will choose to sit back and listen. He does not want to take your heart by force. He gives you the option to accept Him - or not. Do whatever research you feel you need to do. In the end, I pray that you will see what all He stands for and what all He came here for - in a nutshell, He came here for us. He came knowing he would die, but He came anyway. He knew that people would reject Him, call Him names, spit on Him, and nail Him to a cross......yet He still came - as that so innocent little baby.
