Luke 2:12 This will be a sign to you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
We can marvel all we like at the fact that this is Jesus Christ, our Messiah, Saviour, Lord, Son of God… but the shepherds were being told that they would find Him lying in a manger!
We may put some things in strange places but what would you have thought if someone came and told you that you would find the new king in a feeding trough?
Jesus did not need the pomp and ceremony of an earthly king. He does not need the world to treat Him like someone from the royal household.
All God wants is our love!
