Luke 2:7 “…and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.”

Mary and Joseph could find no lodging as they arrived in Bethlehem, so instead the baby Jesus was born in a stable, with animals standing quietly by. The greatest birth ever, wasn’t witnessed by kings, but only by cattle and donkeys. The birth of the Christ child wasn’t heralded by throngs of people, but only by the soft bleating of the sheep nearby. There were no great fireworks set off at his birth…only a brilliant star rising in the East.
