Predictably we find ourselves in Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus.  We find in Bethlehem a place of humility.  Jesus was not born in a palace but a manger.  The witnesses of Jesus’ birth were not powerful rulers but shepherds going about their daily tasks.  An event that we have made into extravagant was really a place of humble beginnings.  We journey to Bethlehem to acknowledge the importance of Jesus’ lineage within the line of King David, as well as the power of our Savior born, in a place of humble beginnings witnessed by everyday folks - the place of humility. 

Scripture - Luke 2:1-20
