The King of glory stooped low to take humanity.
--Rude and forbidding were His earthly surroundings.
--His glory was veiled, that the majesty of His outward form might not become an object of attraction.
*With amazement the heavenly messengers beheld the indifference of that people whom God had called to communicate to the world the light of sacred truth.
--"Unto the upright there ariseth light in the darkness." Psalm 112:4. To those who are seeking for light, and who accept it with gladness, the bright rays from the throne of God will shine.

--In the fields....shepherds were still keeping watch by night.
--Through the silent hours they talked together... "And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round
about them: and they were sore afraid. And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:10,11.
--"Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, good will toward men." Luke 2:14.
Oh that today the human family could recognize that song! The declaration then made, the note then struck, will swell to the close of time, and resound to the ends of the earth.
--The story of Bethlehem is an exhaustless theme.
In it is hidden "the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God." Romans 11:33.
Yet into the world where Satan claimed dominion
God permitted His Son to come,
a helpless babe, subject to the weakness of humanity.
