Cleaning doesn't get much more abrasive than powdered cleanser with bleach. It grinds out the grime in sinks and toilets. This cleanser tackles the tough work around the house.
How ironic it is that the tough cleansing of our lives is tackled by a baby.
"But who can endure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a refiner's fire and like fullers' soap." Malachi 3:2 English Standard Version
The one who comes to face our sin, conquer death and captivate Satan comes as a small baby, yet "who can endure the day of his coming and who can stand when he appears?"
All of us fall on our knees before this baby. We are prostrate before him because of his power to redeem, rescue and save us.
The Bible doesn't tell us whether the shepherds knelt before the baby, but we can imagine that they did. Through Matthew we know that later, when the Magi arrived, they bowed before the child.
And so do we. We cannot remain on our feet before the one who bears our sin, the one who saves our lives.
Stronger than any powdered cleanser is this baby born for us.
