"No man has seen God at any time; the only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him," or, "He has revealed Him." (John 1:18-- NASB)
At the birth of Jesus, God was saying to the universe, "Here I am in the way you have never seen." The Scripture says that there are things even "which angels desire to look into." Jesus came revealing the nature of the Godhead. This was new revelation.
When the shepherds went to that dark, cold manger in Bethlehem, their eyes beheld what the angels saw for the first time. The Son is He which Micah says is "from days of eternity," but this was something new. Here we see the Blessed Trinity, manifested among men, lying in the arms of a very young girl among the simple animals of the earth, and watched over by a risk-taking, humble Galilean carpenter.
He still comes in the most humble ways, to the most humble of people. The humble sing the songs of Zion this Christmas Season, songs of celebration. "Yea, Lord we greet Thee, born this happy morning, Jesus, to Thee be all glory given; Word of the Father now in flesh appearing, O Come, let us adore Him!"
Father, in Jesus' Name, "to Thee be all glory given...." Amen.
