And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven,
the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem,
and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.
And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger.
And when they had seen it,
they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child.
And all they that heard it wondered at those things
which were told them by the shepherds.
Luke 2:15-18 KJV

Why lies He in such mean estate,
Where ox and ass are feeding?
Good Christians, fear, for sinners here
The silent Word is pleading.
Nails, spears shall pierce him through,
The cross he bore for me, for you.
Hail, hail the Word made flesh,
The Babe, the Son of Mary.

A thousand times in history a baby has become a king to RULE a nation.
Only one time has a King become a baby to save ALL nations.
