WHO’S in THE MANGER?

1 Tim 5:22
22 Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men's sins: keep thyself pure.

Who is in the manger, Mary?

Matt 5:8
8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 
They shall see GOD. 
the pure in heart shall see GOD in a very literal sense. REV 22: "they shall see his face"

Blessed are the pure in heart.

Titus 1:10-15
10 For there are many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision:
11 Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.
12 One of themselves, even a prophet of their own, said, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies.
13 This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith;
14 Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.
15 Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

Those who are not pure can never see GOD in anything.

Matt 1:18-25
18 Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.
19 Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a publick example, was minded to put her away privily.
20 But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost.
21 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.
22 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,
23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
24 Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:
25 And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS.

THE sanctity of Christs birth was dependant upon mary keeping herself pure.

If this holy Child was to be born without the stain of sinful man she must keep herself pure it is possible that all history was in the balance.

The angel spoke to Mary in a dream and promised the promised one to her. 
NOW SHE MUST KEEP HERSELF PURE. OR THE DREAM IS MARRED.

We as the CHURCH have been given the dream, the vision and it is still as fresh in my mind as it was the day we nialed up the hand-painted sign on clinic street . 
NOW WE MUST KEEP OURSELVES PURE.
