Luke 2:1–20. A child has been born, but unlike any other child that has ever come into this world – this was the very Son of God – and we’re simply told: “… she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger.” Never before had God and mankind been so intimately acquainted in such a profound and absolute manner. Never before had heaven and earth been so connected as at that moment.


The vivid contrast between the birth narrative of Jesus and that of John is surely not accidental. Where the latter was publicly announced in the capital city and involved a priest of the temple, that of Jesus was far more subdued and of particularly humble circumstances. Indeed, there are very few details given about the physical circumstances of the birth – tradition seems to have supplied us with far more!


And then there were the shepherds – the first of many characters whom Luke introduces into his narrative showing us that God is more than happy to be at home among ‘ordinary’ people. And it is to them that this great announcement is made.
