"Did ever such a baby enter this world in lowlier guise? And do we not all love Him the more for it? Somehow it would spoil the picture if He had been born in a palace with princesses to wait on Him and high priests in attendance. That poor little baby, whom nobody noticed, comes to us in His helplessness with such clinging appeal, as if trusting Himself utterly to us, as if bidding for our affection, wanting us to be fond of Him. So touchingly, appealingly did the Christ come." (emphasis mine)
