Jerusalem
There is Jerusalem, always the capital of Israel. Yet another city rose above Jerusalem to be the queen of all cities. In fact it was probably not thought of that anybody so special would be born and raised anywhere else. He would know little of them In His younger years.
Bethlehem and other small towns most likely would have been considered to be too small to have anything of interest for a rich young man or woman. Jerusalem would have been the place to live for parties and gossip.
Yet there were many in the city who would have little or nothing to do with those people mostly because of the way these ordinary people were treated by the rulers of that time.
Into all this and a lot of other problems comes Jesus. Born in a stable and raised in a small village named Nazereth.He became an itinerant teacher and healer. In so do>ng,He the world of that time on it's ear , eventually changing everything. For He was/is the King of the Ages and Creator of all, loving all.
