Jesus was born into the world as a baby. As an infant, He was helpless. As a newborn, He was vulnerable. Jesus, the King of the Universe, was humbled by being born into the world as a tiny frail human being. He did such a thing since His ways are not our ways.* God loves us infinitely, and so Jesus, from His great love for us, obediently submitted to the will of Our Heavenly Father by coming to save us from our sins.
Jesus was born in a stable.** He came into the world in stark surroundings. He came to us in a simple setting. In how He came among us, He demonstrated that we are to acquiesce to becoming little. We are to accept how God is calling us to be content with whatever God sends to us. We can choose to happily and joyously depend on God. We find a sure footing when we completely trust in God. If we but totally trust in God, we find that there is much stability in humility.
If we become like Jesus, we are built on a secure foundation, on solid rock.*** If we become like Jesus, we are loving no matter what happens. If we become like Jesus, we love God for all He sends us. If we become like Jesus, we love no matter what the cost.
* Isaiah 55:8
** Luke 2:16
*** Matthew 7:24-25; Luke 6:47-48
