Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Etchings of the Master
Bsus was laid on the bosom of Mary as the gift of eternity, for his birth at Beth lehem was not the beginning of his exist ence. To the wondering shepherds and the worshiping wise men he seemed none other than the child of a day; but, in fact, he came into time out of an eternal past. To the manger birth, from which his life began to be reckoned in days and years, he came from a dateless pre existence. To the humiliation of that birth he descended from the glory which he had with the Father before the world was. He was the maker of his own cradle; for the great earth that received him, and rocked him into the peace of human sleep, was the work of his own hands; for the world was made by him, and the sky-canopy of blue and stars that hung over his planet-cradle he had also woven and stretched out, for without him was not any thing made that was made. The shepherds worshiped and wondered; the wise men adored and brought great gifts. And they did well; for though they did not understand, they felt that, somehow, the great God had identified himself with the Babe.
