The Humble Circumstances of Bethlehem

Explore the majestic presence of divinity amidst humble surroundings in Max Lucado's depiction of the Nativity scene. See how Mary gazes upon the face of her divine Son, a contrast of majesty and squalor. Experience the eternal garments exchanged for tattered rags, and thrones replaced by a dirty animal shelter. Witness how the angels' adoration is replaced by lowly shepherds, as God visits Earth in a manger. The city hummed, unaware of God's planetary visit. Those who missed the Messiah's arrival did so not out of malice, but indifference. Reflect on the timeless message of the Nativity and ponder how little has changed in 2000 years.

  1. Circumstantele umile din Ieslea Betleemului • Max Lucado a descris lucrurile in modul urmator:”Grajdul pute,pamantul este tare, fanul rar.Din tavan atarna panze de paianjen si soarecii fug incoace si incolo. Maria priveste chipul fiului ei. A Domnului ei. Priveste la maiestuozitatea sa. In acest moment fiinta care intelege cel mai bine cine este Dumnezeu si care este planul Acestuia, este o adolescenta dintr-un grazd mizer. Isi aminteste cuvintele ingerilor:” Imparatia lui nu va avea sfarsit…” Maiestuozuitatea in mijlocul lunescului.Sfintenie in mizeria balegarului si transpiratiei.Divinitate ce intra in lume pe pamantul unui grajd. Acest copilas conducea candva universul. Vesmintele eternitatii au fost schimbate cu zdrentele care-I tin in de cald. Sala tronului sau de aur schimbata cu un adapost murdar pentru animale. Ingerii care I se inchinau inlocuiti de pastori. Iar intre timp orasul fredona, fara sa stie ca Dumnezeu le-a vizitat planeta. Hangiul n-ar fi crezut niciodata ca tocmai l-a vazut pe Dumnezeu in frigul de afara. Iar oamenii ar fi ironizat orice om care le-ar fi spus ca Mesia se afla in bratele unei adolescente, la marginea satului lor. Erau prea ocupati pentru a putea accepta o asemenea posibilitate. Insa cei care au ratat sosirea Maiestatii Sale in acea noapte, n-au facut-o din rautate, ci pentru ca nu l-au cautat. Putin s-au schimbat lucrurile in 2000 de ani, nu-I asa?”
