CM Update 5/31/09

Luke 2:7 - And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Being separated and excluded from society is one of the worst forms of punishment. Many people have found themselves depressed by being excluded. Mary and Joseph must have wondered about God's plan when they ended up in a stable. We know that this was God's way of presenting His humble nature to us. As you minister in your classes, keep your eyes tuned to the excluded children. Be the arms of the Lord reaching out to them.

In Jesus,
Phil
