The Holy Birth of Jesus

Luke 2:7And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Jesus was born separated from the world. How Holy it was! People might have judged Mary and Joseph as sinful but in fact they were truly obedient to God. 

Matthew 5:3Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Who were at the presence when baby Jesus was born? There were Joseph and Mary with some animals in the stable. Also the shepherds rushed into there and worshiped Him. They all had a pure heart so that they didn't suspect angel's messages from God and could be a witness of the birth of Jesus the Savior. Further more even the foreign wise men were eager to see the King of Jews in person and worship Him. They didn't wish for any rewards but just wanted to see the Prince to worship. And they changed their ways to home since they had warnings from God in their dreams. 

Matthew 2:2 Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.

Matthew 2:12 And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way. 

The King Herod stands for the wicked world and God protected Jesus and the wise men from his attacks. He didn't just save their lives from Herod but also their path unto holiness from the world. The wise men worshiped young Jesus… The Bible tells us how we should worship the Lord and that is to worship Him by living out holiness in our life. So I believe since they worshiped Jesus in person they changed their way of living into the new one which was sepearated from the world. 

Psalm 96:9Oworship the LORD in the beauty of holiness: fear before him, all the earth. 

Matthew 5:8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. 

They really saw God. When we seem to have difficulties, we will remember where the blessings and protection come from. When we have a pure heart, God will protect us from the evil and we will keep on walking the path of holiness.

May God bless you!
