The babe Jesus came into a world too crowded for him. His parents could find no room, no warm place for him to be born, no comfortable bed to lay his head. So he was born in a stable among the beasts he had created and laid in a trough where they fed. Aside from a few lowly shepherds, his birth was unremarkable and unnoticed. He and his family moved about anonymously among the many sojourners traveling to register for the census. He was just one little babe, born into a poor family from a small, unremarkable town from which nothing good ever came (John 1:45-46).
