Meditate
Luke not only wrote about
the in-breaking of God into the daily life of humanity
but
also about the individuals who participated in the God-event.
The story of Christ, God with us, would not be the same
without
Joseph, Mary, the shepherds,
and others.
Their legacy, recorded in
the scriptures, powerfully demonstrates
how humanity is given the
opportunity
to participate and engage with
the activity of God in this world.
He went there to register with
Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. While
they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to
her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger,
because there was no guest room available for them. And there were shepherds
living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. An
angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around
them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, "Do not be
afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah,
the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths
and lying in a manger."
