Excerpt from Christ and His Salvation: In Sermons Variously Related Thereto
In the birth and birthplace of Jesus, there is something beautifully correspondent with His personal fortunes afterward, and also of the fortunes of His gospel, even d own to our age and time. He comes into the world, as it were to the taxing, and there is scant room for Him even at that.
A Roman decree having been issued, requiring the people to repair to their native place to be registered for taxation, Joseph and Mary set off for Bethlehem. The khan or inn of the village is full when they arrive, and, being humble persons, t hey are obliged to find a place in the st all or stable, where the Holy Child is born. It so happens, not by any slight of the guests, in which they mock the advent of the child, for He makes His advent only as the child of two very common people.
