One of the things that I have always thought about when we read it is how unfair it was no one would make room for Mary and Joseph at the inn.
We talked about this and decided that it must have been God's plan for Jesus to be born in the stable so that every living thing could come and worship him.
Think about it --- God put a star in the sky to show everyone where to go.
When we look at the manger we see many of the beings that God created.
There is Jesus' family, the animals, shepherds, angels, and kings.
With the birth of Jesus, God made sure that all who chose to could come and worship him and recognize him as the Savior for all mankind.
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 Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
Luke 2:10-12 NIV
