What child is this? He is the One who enables adoption into God’s family and gives a new name to those who become a part of the family. He is the One who was laid in a manger at His birth and hung on a cross at His death so that we could be saved from our sins. He is the One who offers victory and life as He makes adoption into His family available to all who call on His name. What child is this? He is Jesus, the adopting and naming God who sets us on His knee and calls us sons and daughters.
