In this message, we are encouraged and challenged to see Christmas in the light of Easter, that they are two parts of the same story. Jesus grows up. This challenges us and makes us consider at least three issues: God loves us and has a plan for us; Jesus is the Saviour who saves the world through the Cross; and that we are forced to make a response to this Jesus. We are left with a question. How do we respond to Jesus? Is He still in the manger, or is He the one who grew up, is the Saviour of the world and the returning King of Kings and Lord of Lords?
