At Christmas, we celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ—the miracle of God coming to earth as a baby. Scripture tells us we must become “as little children” to enter into the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 18:3). If the Son of God himself became a child, and if our own salvation also depends on becoming like a child, then what do babies and children reveal about God’s nature—and our own? From beloved author Adam Miller, The Christ Child is a Christmas meditation that examines the scriptural accounts of Jesus’s birth, the characteristics of children, and invites us to consider how we can become more like them during the holiday season and throughout the year.
