"O holy Child of Bethlehem!
Descend to us, we pray;
Cast out our sin, and enter in;
Be born in us today.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel."
~Phillips Brooks from "O Little Town of Bethlehem"

Bethlehem: The "house of bread." A place that satisfied hungry stomachs.
Jesus: The "Bread of Life." The satisfier of all spiritual hunger.
Our hearts: Little "Bethlehems" - houses of the Bread of Life when we ask Him to "cast out our sin, and enter in."
Merry Christmas, everyone!
