How do you picture a King arriving? When you think of royalty what do you imagine? The story of the birth of Jesus proves that God's way of doing things is much different from ours. Why did God choose Bethlehem for the birth of his son? God often chooses the most inconsequential places to give birth to miracles. He takes the humblest, lowliest people and through them, shows himself the strongest. By revealing himself in an ordinary, simple stable, God invites us to know and follow him.
