Bible Question: What would the significance of the birth in a stable be? |
Bible Answer: Whether it has significance or not, one thing that we can get from this passage is that we should not limit God by our expectations. The Jews were looking for their expected Messiah to be born in a holy place but God had different ideas. Also, at the time of Christ there was a tax that was taken on all the trees on a persons property; therefore all trees were cut down so the people would not be taxed. The stable that is referred to is actually a cave. It was a very dark and dirty place. God is at work wherever he is needed in our sin darkened and dirty world. prayon |
