| 0:00.0 | Merry Christmas to you and welcome to this Christmas Day edition of Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:11.2 | My name is Sheridan Voise and I've titled today's reading, Christmas Child. |
| 0:17.3 | Imagine the one who made cedars spring from seeds, starting life over as an embryo. |
| 0:23.2 | The one who made the stars, submitting himself to a womb. |
| 0:27.8 | The one who fills the heavens, becoming what would be in our day, a mere dot on an ultrasound. |
| 0:35.3 | Jesus, in very nature God, making himself nothing. What an astonishing thought. |
