It's a mystery that God should choose of all places for His Son Jesus to be born. Yes, God found
A way in a manger.
This time of the year it is customary for people to set up the nativityy scene in church or outside in church compound. It is a reminder that Jesus left the realms of Glory and descended to earth to take on our humanity not in a palace, or even in the middle class home, but in the stable with animals. He truly humbled Himself.
"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. " Philippians 2: 5-11 (New International Version)
