| The CrcheCaesar Augustus orders a census to count every family in the Roman Empire. Because Joseph is a descendant of David, he must file his census in the small village of Bethlehem. He travels with his expectant wife, Mary, and they discover there is no lodging available. Through the mercy of an Innkeeper, Gods Son enters the world in a stable and fulfills a promise foretold seven centuries earlier by the prophet Micah. ...for out of you, (Bethlehem), will come a ruler who will be the shepherd of my people Israel. Matthew 1:18;2:12; Luke 1:2638,4656;2:1; Micah 5:23 (NIV). This piece stands 11" H. |
