Why Jesus was Born in a Stable
To my always inquisitive nephew
Dear friend,
Your curiousity is quite appreciated, and undoubtably be rewarded. I will answer your many letters as best as possible before the year is over.
So why is it important that it was a humble stable? After all, it wasn’t a luxurious palace or a grand castle. So why does it matter?
Well, the truth is that Jesus’ birth in a stable was actually a profound act of humility and love. You see, God, who is all-powerful and all-knowing, chose to become a human being, just like us.
But not just any human being — he chose to be born into the humblest of circumstances. He was born into a poor family, in a small town, in a stable meant for animals. This was a clear statement of his humility and his desire to be with us, even in the most difficult and lowly of situations.
Furthermore, the stable was not just a place of humility, but also of hope. It was in this stable that Jesus was born, and it was from this stable that he would go on to live his life and fulfill his mission.
In short, the fact that Jesus was born in a humble stable is a reminder of his humility, his love, and his ultimate victory. It is a reminder that even in the darkest and most difficult of times, God is with us, and that he is always working to bring about his good and perfect plan.
Sincerely,
David.
