Luke 2:12
_ _ a sign — “the sign.”
_ _ the babe — “a Babe.”
_ _ a manger — “the manger.” The sign was to consist, it seems, solely in the overpowering contrast between the things just said of Him and the lowly condition in which they would find Him — Him whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting, “ye shall find a Babe”; whom the heaven of heavens cannot contain, “wrapt in swaddling bands”; the “Savior, Christ the Lord,” lying in a manger! Thus early were these amazing contrasts, which are His chosen style, held forth. (See 2 Corinthians 8:9.) |

And let it be, when these signs are come unto thee, [ that] thou do as occasion serve thee; for God [ is] with thee.
Psalms 22:6 But I [am] a worm, and no man; a reproach of men, and despised of the people.
Isaiah 53:1- 2 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? ... For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, [ there is] no beauty that we should desire him.
