THE GOOD MESSAGE OF
JESUS THE CHRIST
Interpretation

6. Jesus is Born in Bethlehem.

As the inn was crowded with people, a secluded place
was arranged away from the noise and disturbance.
By society's standards it was a humble place where the animals were kept.
Also it was the simple shepherds keeping watch on the hillsides who heard
and responded to the divine message; they were guided by angels,
and their vision was confirmed when they found the new-born child in the manger.
The divine message of peace and goodwill was already being proclaimed and heard.
Mary also contemplated these blessings in her heart.
