Luke 2:6-7–"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 swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn."
As has been noted many times before, there are so many wonderful elements to the Christmas narrative, from the prophesies fulfilled to the angels singing. But the heart of the message comes down to this basic element: the birth of a king in the lowliest of settings. We should not forget the juxtaposition of this, that God Himself condescended to human form: the King became a servant. This is the very essence of the Christmas message and we should remember it!
