One of the common Christmas decorations for people across the country is a nativity set. And these sets may look very different but they always feature the same things, a stable, a manger, some animals, Mary and Joseph, and baby Jesus. The fact that the savior of the world, God himself was born in stable where animals live in a trough that animals usually eat out of, is amazing! You might think that Jesus would be born in a palace, but instead he is born in a place not even fit for people.
The way Jesus is born, says a lot about how God views people. These verses talk about how God lifts up the humble and the people who don’t have very much. So don’t look down on people who don’t have as much as you do, God loves them and he wants to raise them up. That’s why we often donate our toys and clothes to charities around Christmas, because God wants us to help out those who are less fortunate than us. And we are reminded of that when we read about Jesus’ birth.
