This five-panel tract connects the manger and the cross as necessary in God’s plan to redeem mankind. Here are a few lines from this tract: “Most likely Mary had no idea when she wrapped her newborn baby in strips of cloth that one day his crucified body would once again be wrapped in strips of cloth.” This tract goes on to explain why the manger and cross were necessary for man to be restored to fellowship with God. “The Savior we need was not just the baby in the manger but the crucified and resurrected Jesus.” This tract concludes with an opportunity for the reader to respond to the manger and the cross.
