(Luke 2:1-20) speaks of the birth of a child, not the revolutionary deed of a strongman, or the breathtaking discovery of a sage, of the pious deed of a saint. It truly goes beyond anything our minds can grasp. The birth of a child is to bring about the great transformation of all things, is to bring salvation and redemption to all of humanity.
