*Where will Infant Jesus grow?

*Christmas Season : C Cycle   - Saturday*

*The Nativity of the Lord*

*GOSPEL -  John 1:1-14*

*First Reading - Is 52:7-10*

*Where will Infant Jesus grow?*

*1) Infant Jesus in the crib*

For Christmas we prepare a beautiful Crib. We use almost same things every year for the crib. 

The statues we use, the place we choose, the way we prepare the crib almost is same every year 

The infant Jesus or the baby Jesus in the crib does not grow. It remains same. 

Does this means that Jesus is same without any growth? 

*2) The best place for Infant Jesus' growth*

Since in the crib the new born Jesus remains same, we must find out a suitable place for Jesus' growth. 

That is why the best place for infant Jesus' growth would be my heart, my mind, my life, my family and my surroundings. 

Jesus who takes birth in these places will certainly grow and will work miracles in our life 

*3) Do I have a place for Jesus*

Jesus who takes birth in my life can grow. But Jesus who takes birth in the crib remains same 

If so am I ready to offer a place for Jesus where he can grow?

Let's give our life so that not only Jesus will grow, but we also will grown in every aspect of our life
