Noel Piper posted on the Desiring God blog a few weeks ago: "Burping Baby Jesus." Maybe not quite what you expected, but I love that she is emphasizing the humanity of Jesus Christ.
An excerpt:
“The little Lord Jesus no crying he makes.” Really? Let’s not forget that the Lord Jesus was also the human newborn baby Jesus, as we’re reminded in one of the best Christmas books ever—The Best Christmas Pageant Ever..."
Mrs. Piper quotes a portion of the book that is moving. Read the whole thing.
Luke 2:10,
"And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I
bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all the people. For
unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ
the Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
