Give Birth to Something
Some people complain about problems. Others give birth to solutions.
They:
- Try to make life better
- Explore changes
- Work to make those changes happen
Kate Thomas, a writing friend, gave birth to the Kentucky Christian Writers Conference in 1996. She knew Kentucky writers needed training and encouragement. Her conference offers help to writers every year.
To give birth to something means to begin something new.
People give birth to new:
- Ideas
- Ways to work
- Inventions
- Schools
When God sent Jesus to earth, Mary gave birth to more than a baby.
Jesus came as:
- Son of God
- Prince of peace
- The way of salvation
- Hope for a hopeless world
- Love for all people
- Joy for the joyless
Jesus gave the gift of Himself.
Anyone who accepts Jesus as personal Savior receives a new birth.
God gives that person new life — eternal life. That is why Jesus came. That is what Christmas is all about.
[Mary] “gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger” (Luke 2:7 NIV).
