The Birth of Jesus

The Birth of Jesus was a humble moment as the King of Kings became a human so he might identify with our suffering, and temptations, as well as to provide Salvation. He was born into a Family of little means. We know that Mary and Joseph offered the least of the sacrifices required by the law on the eight day of Jesus’ birth; two turtledoves.

When we think of birth, we think of hospitals, birthing suites, clean rooms and Demurral. The image of Jesus’ birth is very different to us today Jesus was born in a stable, and wrapped in strips of rags, to sleep his first night in the very object that animals would have eaten from that day; a manger. We must remember this King did not go unnoticed. Angels and Kings alike acknowledged his birth. “Yes the messiah the Lord has been born today in Bethlehem.”
