Nehemiah 10:1-11:36; Zechariah 7:1-14; Revelation 15:1-8
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. Luke 2:7
A prince is often born into the luxury of a stately home or palace. Not so with the King of Kings! There was not even room in the inn that night. The miraculous event of His birth took place among poverty, obscurity and rejection. We cannot begin to fully understand and appreciate such humility. He left the mansions above for the manger below. But are you not glad He came? —John M. Clegg
Thou didst leave Thy throne and Thy kingly crown,
When Thou camest to earth for me;
But in Bethlehem’s home there was found no room,
For Thy holy nativity. —Emily Elliott
