Luke 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. There are many interesting pictures about the birth of Jesus. But all of those artists were not there. Many people have written about the birth of Jesus, including me, but none of us were there. But Mary was there. And I am sure she was excited about the birth of her first baby boy. Mary was excited because her baby boy was a special child. He was the very Son of God who would save His people from their sins. The angel had told her so. But Mary had to travel with Joseph so very far from their home, just to register for their taxes. The Romans were not very understanding, even about a new baby on the way. And Mary had to deliver her new baby in a stable of all places! But Bethlehem was so crowded that Mary and Joseph were glad just to get a roof over their heads! But when Jesus was born, all of Mary's discomfort and inconvenience were forgotten. He was so sweet! And He was such a good baby. But of course He was! But Mary and Joseph had an important job to do. They had to raise Jesus and teach Him so much. Isn't that interesting? They had to teach Jesus so much, and we need to learn about Jesus so much! After all, He is the Son of God.
