“While they were there, the time came for her to give birth. She gave birth to a son, her firstborn. She wrapped him in a blanket and laid him in a manger, because there was no room in the hostel.”
Luke 2:6-7 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
No room? Yes, no room. Born into the lowliest of circumstances, the Lord of the universe makes an entrance as a baby to two confused young parents. This was by design. There is nothing grand about the conditions of Jesus’ birth. May this little fact never be lost upon us.
