Why is there such a importance placed about the 'blood' of Jesus on the cross but almost nothing about 'blood' during the birthing of Jesus?

Thank you for this reality check of 'born'. It also makes me wonder, as I look at our manger scene, who was left out? ... the midwife and assistants, female relatives, and women living near the inn... there to immediately help her. Diana, thank you, for reminding us again of this word, born.

"Faith is risk with direction".

O, the faithfulness of the Eternal God to be born into human-ness in order to become the Savior of the World.

Amen. Come Lord Jesus
