God Stooping Down #574

A manger is a feeding trough for cattle. Would a mother worthy of the name put a newborn baby in an animals feedbox?This is the depth to which the Son of God was willing to stoop in order bring about salvation.

The Son of God, the Second Person of the Trinity, left the side of His Father to lay in a manger. He left behind the perfection, sinless purity, and glorious light of heaven. He entered a world marked by war, fallen in sin, and dark with the sting of death. He emptied Himself [of His divine prerogatives], taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men? (Philippians 2:7).

He entered the world with little notice. Bethlehem was teeming with people seeking to register for a census ordered by the Roman emperor. Mary and Joseph found shelter in a stable. And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn (Luke 2:7).

An angel explained Marys pregnancy to Joseph and gave the baby His name. She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins(Matthew 1:21). So it was that Jesus Christ stooped to meet our need.
