The traditional account has Jesus born in a stable because that is where mangers are to be found. However in many middle eastern homes today and in Jesus' day, mangers are found in the living room of homes. A proper reading of Luke 2.1-7 tells us Jesus was born in an ordinary peasant village home - a common-place ordinary birth just like any other Palestinian peasant birth. This is the marvel of the incarnation for which we magnify and worship him all the more. Pastor John Ting preaches.
