Luke 2:6-7

While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.

From Background Notes [BN] for Dec 12th & 13th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

Just as light and darkness stand in stark contrast, so the conditions of Jesus’ birthplace are at variance with his true identity. Would we have expected to find him in such humiliation?

In his birth, the everlasting light is companion with lowly things. Caesar’s census has no room for special considerations to comfort and convenience. He doesn’t issue special concessions to allow for accommodations. Rome’s majesty has little in common with God’s everlasting light. The decree of the emperor pales in comparison to the providence of God. [BN,2]
