Firstborn son

"So it was, that while they were there, the days were completed for her to be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn" (‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭6-7‬ NKJV). Beautiful Jesus was born that night to a virgin who knew no man. I believe Mary and Joseph were frightened and scared for their lives. They were brand-new parents that were given a child from on high, Emanuel, who would save the world. However, through all they endured and as frightening as it might've been, what they saw and heard built great faith in them. They knew without a doubt the Son of God was born. What a humble way our Lord Jesus came into this world. All of the universe and the heavens stood still in awe and watched as they were amazed at the King of Glory being born that great night. The angels were singing and ushering the newborn King into this world. Praises were heard throughout the heavens as the Child of God took His first breath of air. I believe at this time even hell shook as that first cry from baby Jesus came out of the stable. Satan knew there was something wrong. He sensed that the Glory of God came upon this earth. From that time until now, he has tried to kill the newborn child. Let's rejoice always in the name of the Lord Jesus, just as the angels do. "And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying: Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace, goodwill toward men” (‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:13,‭14‬ NKJV)! God bless you. Amen
