“This is the way the Savior came into the world. He did not lay aside His deity; He laid aside His glory. There should have been more than just a few shepherds and angels to welcome Him—all of creation should have been there. Instead of collecting taxes, that fellow Caesar should have been in Bethlehem to worship Him. Jesus Christ could have forced him to do that very thing, but He did not.
So, we have Royalty clothed in rags; Majesty in the midst of the mundane; Eternity stepping into time; and the most prominent event of all human history being noticed by no one but….a handful of outcasts!”
