Reaching Out (or “From Christmas to Easter”) by Pastor Larry P Morris
The Babe, held in his father arms reached out as if to touch and find and grasp. There was a safety in his reaching out as strong arms held him. There was a boldness in finding, when his father was right there.
Soon enough Jesus wouldn’t be a babe and even then, He would still be reaching out, He would often be touching, and He would usually be finding those who were lost. Although it wasn’t safe, and the risk was high, He was still bold and God’s arms would be just long enough to find us all.
