Leviticus 1:1-2:1
The Grace Of Christ Your Lamb

The manger reminds that our successes cannot lift us high enough, our power is not sufficient enough, our accolades not impressive enough, works are not great enough to lift us into the presence of God the Father, to open the door to the holies of Holies. There was nothing that we could do to get to God so God came in the flesh to us. While we were enemies Christ died for us.
