Christ's Lowly Birth
Luke 2:4
And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem…


The lowly birth of the Saviour of the worm is —

2. Intelligible, when we ask why He comes.

3. A cause of joy, when we see for whom He comes.

(J. J. Van Oosterzee, D. D.)
