Swindoll: Jesus Christ - Marked down

One of the largest department stores in our nation took on a commercial adventure that proved to be disastrously unsuccessful. It was a doll in the form of the baby Jesus. It was advertised as being unbreakable, washable, and cuddly. It was packaged in straw with a satin crib and plastic surroundings, with appropriate biblical texts added. However, it did not sell. The manager of one of the stores in the department chain panicked. He carried out a last-ditch promotion to get rid of those dolls. He had a huge sign outside his store that read, JESUS CHRIST - MARKED DOWN 50%- GET HIM WHILE YOU CAN. (Charles Swindoll, Growing Deep in the Christian Life).
