Christ was made in the likeness of men. He had little hands, little feet just like any other baby. He could have chosen Caesar’s palace as His natal place. More likely, He might have chosen the temple, which was His Father’s house. He passed them by and came to Bethlehem. He gave up the pomp of princes that He might be called the carpenter’s son. In fact, He passed by all homes and came to a stable that He might be homeless. He not only became a baby, but He became a companion of the outcast. He said, “But the Son of man hath not where to lay his head.” He came down and took our place.
