We brainstormed last night about alot of babies in the Bible. I was so surprised that Baby Jesus was not one that was mentioned , but we did bring Him in last.
Hannah wanted a child so badly... and the Lord blessed her with Samuel. Elizabeth and Sarah were much the same. They were barren all their lives until the Lord blessed them with boys. Their longing for a child matched Israel's longing for Messiah.
We mentioned the women Solomon had to judge. How one woman's baby died and both claimed the remaining child as their own. Solomon knew the real mother would protect her child even if it meant having to give her baby up... and that is what happened. I tried to parallel this story with the love the Father had for Jesus, but also for us... that he would give up His only son so that we could live.
