"Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ
the Lord." Luke 1:11

How wonderful this was! We must remember who it was, that was thus born.
The birth of another child in this world was nothing strange, for
thousands of children are born every day. But this was the Lord of
glory! This was not the beginning of His life. He had lived from all
eternity in Heaven. His hands made the universe. All glory was His. All
the crowns of power flashed upon His brow. All mighty angels called Him
Lord. We must remember this, if we would understand how great was His
condescension.

Every schoolboy has read that Peter the Great left his throne, and in
lowly disguise apprenticed himself as a carpenter. Among the common
laborers he wrought, dressed in their working-garb, living in a hut,
preparing his own food, making his own bed. Yet in doing so, he never
for a moment ceased to be the emperor of Russia. His royal splendor was
laid aside for a time; his regal power and majesty were temporarily
veiled beneath the disguise he wore; but there was never an hour when he
was not an emperor.

Just so, Christ\
