Welcome or welcome back to my free coloring pages blog.
Today's new drawing is a Nativity drawing of
Baby Jesus, Mary, and Joseph.
Nativity 2022
This is my latest Nativity drawing. It depicts the infant Jesus, who was and is the Son of God lying in a manger. A manger is where you put feed for large animals. Jesus was the creator of the Earth! And he came to Earth in somewhat mortal form in the humblest of ways. It is amazing that a god would come to Earth in such a humble way.
Yet, our Savior Jesus Christ came to Earth to teach us His ways of kindness and generosity and faith. Then He did His most important work, He was a 'willing sacrifice for our sins. You see, if we sin (and we all do) then there is an eternal punishment that will keep us from ever returning to our Heavenly Parents. We lived with them as spirits before we came to Earth. But we can't go back because we have all been sinners in our mortal lives. To one degree or another we all have sinned. However, because of the Atonement of Christ we can return to live with our Heavenly Parents in the next life. Jesus paid the eternal price for our sins so we can be clean and worthy if we repent.
By the way, Baby Jesus, in this drawing, is wrapped in swaddling clothes. I have read that this included bands of cloth wrapped around the baby's arms and legs. Although swaddling clothes were more commonly bands of cloth or blankets that wrapped around the baby's entire body so that the baby could not use his or her limbs. I also read that sacrificial lambs were wrapped in swaddling clothes and Jesus was the ultimate sacrificial lamb.
NOTE: This drawing, in printable form, can be found by clicking on the button labeled "Religious" or "Holidays." This is the last drawing on the Christmas section of the Holidays list. It is the last picture on the New Testament section of the Religious list.
