JESUS WAS LAID IN STABLE
Luke 2: 1-14The writer Luke speaks of who Jesus Christ who borrowed the body of Mary and was born in the barn is and also what relationship there is between God and man.
1) Jesus was lying in the barn
The people of Israel was a Roman colony. At the order of Emperor Caesar each had to go to his homeland to be registered. Joseph, being the ancestor of David, had to go to Bethlehem, despite the signs of imminent delivery. Mary his fiancee had no place to give birth, she then laid his son in the stable. Thus the King of kings, Lord of lords was born in a lowly stable. The work of God begins with a manger. Outside of the only Son of God Jesus Christ who borrowed the body of man and born in a stable, we can not understand or think about God.
2) The joyful news received by the shepherds
The shepherds who spent the watches of the night to keep their herds suddenly received the news from an angel appeared to them: today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ. The newborn swaddled in a manger is the Christ. This Christ glorifies God and gives peace to mankind. It was the only person who could give glory to God and give people peace. Without this one and only Son so humbly born in the stable at Bethlehem, nothing can give us peace and glorify God. Apart from him, all the men are only men, worthy of little confidence and little credibility.
Prayer: Lord, now we understand the meaning that the Son of God descended so low, we believe that only this only Son descended into the barn can give us peace and glory to God. Please come into our hearts.
One word: Do you have in your heart a room where the Christ can stay?
