Royalties in general are rich. These people have palaces, power, wealth, and honor from their respective kingdoms. But there is one exemption to this rule. One rich mighty king left His kingdom to be born as a poor little baby.
You might think this is simply a fairy tale. But definitely not. This baby grew to be known as a great teacher in the Koran. Early ancient historians like Tacitus, Pliny the Younger, Josephus, and others have talked about the existence of this man. More so, his birth was foretold in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible and vividly recorded in the New Testament of the Holy Bible.
This King is known as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! He owns everything and created everything that ever existed. Today, whenever the Christmas season comes, he is known as the baby Jesus.
This King left His heavenly kingdom to be born in human flesh as a baby boy just so He can be their savior from their sins. He was born as a baby of a very poor family who came to Bethlehem. He was born during the height of the Roman Empire in a lowly manger filled with farm animals.
His birth was without the aid of a physician or a midwife. He was born not in a birthing facility or a hospital. His delivery room was full of the smell of animal dung that we of our modern times are scared to consider such a place fit for normal delivery for a human infant. The scenario was without the presence of sterile delivery instruments! What a poor situation!
According to the Holy Scriptures, his parents simply wrapped Him in swaddling clothes, and made a crib from hay. The baby bedding sets we have today are probably not existent. No baby scratch mittens perhaps that we commonly make our babies wear these days yet. No newborn baby hats were probably conceived yet. He was just wrapped in swaddling clothes!
Indeed, what a sacrifice did this King did - who is the God of heaven and earth. A big sacrifice to be born so poor just because He so much loved you and me and all of humanity. Yes, this rich King of the universe came to be born a poor baby boy - all because of LOVE for mankind.
