During the last two months of every year, we see multiple depictions of Jesus laying in a manger. We sing about the scene in multiple church hymns. We see small Nativity scenes, life-size manger scenes, and paintings. In every one of them, Jesus Christ is an infant. What could be less intimidating than a one-day old baby? To have the proper attitude towards the Savior, we should both love and respect Him. Can you really respect a new-born infant? If you think of Jesus Christ as a baby, are you going to worry at all about the Final Judgment?

Images of God are important. It is the reason why we don't have crosses and crucifixes in our chapels and temples. Our image of the Savior affects how we worship Him. We should develop the most accurate image we can, through prayer, scripture study, and meditation that will both comfort us and motivate us to do well.
