Birthplace of a King

The Birthplace of a King

This short piece has often brought me to sanity among the hustle and bustle of the season. I trust it will be a blessing to you as it has been to me. Behold a King is born!

When the Lord of Glory came to this earth,he was born in a cave where men sheltered the beasts. The cave in the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem may be that same cave, or it may not be. That we will never know for certain. But there is something beautiful in the symbolism that the church where the cave is has a door so low that all must stoop to enter. It is supremely fitting that every man should approach the infant Jesus upon his knees.

William Barclay.
