the Risen Jesus in Luke Story 5 (2:1-20)
Here's another reason why the "child" in the birth of Jesus Story 5 is the risen Jesus.
As a review:
The first description of the child represented the Hebrew Scriptures giving birth to the risen Jesus. (2:7)
The second description represented the sign, the words and actions of Jesus, giving birth to the risen Jesus. (2:12)
The third description of the child, which wasn't mentioned the other day, no longer has the child wrapped in bands of cloth. The reason: He has risen. He's left the wrappings behind. He's presented only as the bread of life...the word of the Father made flesh...presented in a feeding trough. (2:16)
