My desire is that you can walk away from this passage with a clear answer to this question, “What Child is this?” The answer to this question has serious consequences on our lives, and there is much joy that is ours if we truly know. We will follow the sequence of events by considering the Disappearance of the Child, the Discovery of the Child, and the Devotion of the Child.
