Rulers stride through the world with bodyguards, fanfare, and flashing jewelry. In contrast, God’s visit to earth took place in a shelter for animals, with no attendants present and nowhere to lay the newborn King but a feed trough. Indeed, the event that divided history into two parts may have had more animal than human witnesses. As Phillips Brooks put it:
How silently, how silently, the wondrous gift is given!
So God imparts to human hearts
the blessings of His heaven.-- Phillip Yancey
"And man shall live forevermore,
Because of Christmas Day."
Amazed again by Your humble glory.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
