“And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the town of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, to be registered with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in saddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.”
Luke 2:4-7
That he would come so humbly, with such controversy. The heartache it must’ve caused Mary and Joseph to lay him in a manger. That his first group of worshipers weren’t the priests or scribes, who knew the prophesies, but shepherds.
Yet, the multitudes in heaven praised God at this, saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!”
Gloria in excelsis Deo, to the humble King who was born to die.
