Luke 2:6-7 New International Version (NIV)
6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to
be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped
him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room
available for them.
Jesus entered our world in the most normal of ways for a
child: the time came, his mother gave birth, he was wrapped in soft cloth, and
placed in a crib. Only this was the Son of God who was born. His crib was a
corncrib where animals ate, not a baby's crib. His room was a stable because
there was no room for him. It wasn't just normal; it was common, even below
average conditions for his birth. Can you imagine? The Holy God who created
everything enters our world as a baby to share our way of life as one of us.
Why? He loves us and wants us to come home to him. Incredible! Incredible
story. Incredible love. Incredible God!
Thought for today:
Do I ever think of the humble beginnings of my Savior?
