Another name for Jesus, Immanuel; "God is with us"!
In Jesus day life wasn't that pretty. He was born a Jew and the Jews were ruled by the Romans. The King at the time was threatened by baby boys so he had them killed. Not only did they have to pay taxes; they had to go on an over night trip to do it!
So this is the Kingdom of God...in the Kingdom of this world "God is with us!" and God was willing to come in the form of a helpless baby, to be taken care of by two young people to model for us what it is like to live in the Kingdom of God. It reminds me of a story:
Jesus became a man to show us the way
Your steadfast love
