"Jesus isn't in a manger anymore!"

Double nod to and Pastors Stiegemeyer and McCain for originating and pointing out, respectively, a very sensible response to the objection that we shouldn't use a crucifix because Jesus is not on the cross anymore: "He isn't in a manger anymore, either. Does that mean we shouldn't use creches at Christmas time?"

Kudos to Pr. MCain, BTW, for his excellent piece on that traditional Lutheran symbol of the object of our faith: Christ, and Him crucified!
