Our Wednesday Bible study, tomorrow, is looking at a couple brief verses from Matthew and Luke.

Today's 'korner' is the one taken from Luke:

"And while they were there,
the time came for her baby to be born;
and she gave birth to her first child, a son.
She wrapped him in a blanket
and laid him in a manger,
because there was no room for them
in the village inn."

~ Luke 2: 6 & 7 LAB

Bible Commentary:  "Stables were often caves with feeding troughs (mangers carved into the rock walls. Despite popular
Christmas card pictures, the surroundings were dark and dirty. This was not the atmosphere the Jews expected as the birthplace of the Messiah King. They thought their promised Messiah would be born in royal surroundings. We should not limit God by our expectations. He is at work wherever He is needed in our sin-darkened and dirty world."
