A Baby Is Born

Born In A Manger

Imagine, when you’ve finally arrived after a full day of non-stop travelling, you find out there is no room for you to stay. That is what happened to Mary and Joseph in this week’s story when they finally arrived in Bethlehem.

As we read again this very well-known Christmas story, we are reminded yet again, that Jesus was not born in a palace like other kings, but in a manger surrounded by farm animals.

We are reminded once again, that Jesus was born at a time when there was no room for Jesus to stay.

We hope you enjoy reflecting on this Christmas story. Enjoy!
