The birth of Jesus is a time surrounded by many miracles. There are angelic appearances, a virgin conception, split-second timing as to the precise moment of His birth.
Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
What an amazing statement!
I mean, the hand of God is highly visible in the birth of the Lord Jesus into this world.
That the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords would come to this world and be placed in a manger is almost beyond my comprehension.
A manger is a feeding trough for farm animals. To my mind it was certainly no place for a baby, much less the Son of God.
“Away in a manger no crib for a bed — The little lord jesus laid down his sweet head. — The stars in the bright sky looked down where he lay — The little lord jesus asleep on the hay.” Martin Luther.
