Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger.”
Signs are interesting things - in life and in scripture. Often people demanded signs: like the Israelites, Pharoah and his magicians, and the religious leaders in Jesus' day. But when God chose to give signs - especially about His Savior/Deliverer/Messiah, they were clear and somewhat startling. Everyone was looking for a great powerful leader to arise and save the day; God sent a Baby - in of all places, a lowly manger. This became the talk of the town, and the world. Who would have thought? Thankfully, that is the way God works: in far more wonderful ways than we could imagine. But He also points the way, gives the signs, and they point to Christ as the Way.
