Luke 2:1-14
Jesus was born in manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. A humble king born in a small town without cheer, and honor, even no place to be be born.
Shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.
Today in the town of David a savior has been born to you; he is the Christ the Lord.
"This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in clothes and lying in a manger." Angel told to shepherds.
A group of angels praising God and saying, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests."
Bethlehem, 9km/6 miles south of Jerusalem and 110km/70 miles south of Nazareth, was the home of Ruth and Boaz and later the birthplace of King David. But for Jesus there was no special guest-room in the town.
Why?
Baby let people easy to come closer.
Terrified by the glory of the Lord, but point is the message, it is not the messenger.
Jesus, his cradle was the manger which served the beasts of some householder who took pity on the shelterless couple in their obvious need.
So God' deliverer, 'the Messiah, the Lord's is born.
Angles identified the this baby is the Christ Lord, and gave the sign to those shepherds and to us.
How?
Great good news that our savior Christ has been born, praise to the Lord.
