God the Father meticulously chooses times to accomplish His will. But strangely, these ‘times’ are largely unannounced beforehand. So, at a time when thousands were having to travel from their homes to the cities of their forefathers for the census, one young couple, inconspicuous in the crowd, made their way from Nazareth to Bethlehem. While there, their baby boy was born in the obscurity of a cattle shed. No one but a group of unnamed shepherds were informed of this nearby birth. It was they who received the exclusive, Royal invitation to be the baby’s first visitors.

Luke 2:1-20

For unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Today, in the city of David, a Liberator has been born for you!

He is the promised Anointed One, the Supreme Authority.

. . .today in Bethlehem a rescuer was born for you. He is the Lord Yahweh, the Messiah.
