The Birth of Jesus (Luke 2:1-21)
Chase Replogle
Pastor
Perhaps the most striking thing about Jesus’s birth was how unremarkable the event actually was. So far, Luke’s gospel has been full of angels, miracles, and the Holy Spirit, but Jesus’s birth comes like almost every other birth. Jesus has come into the world as we all come into the world. It is the shepherds in their fields that welcome us into the good news. They found Jesus wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger. That was their sign that a king had been born. God was with us.
