The town of Bethlehem was a one-stop-light kind of town where not much happened. Where the sheep grazed upon its hillsides, and the shepherds dreamt of the city life in nearby Jerusalem. From atop Bethlehem's tall, rolling hills, one could see Jerusalem, the city of kings, rising in the distance. And yet, despite the litany of kings that were born within the walls of Jerusalem—king after king after king—it is Bethlehem that hosted the two most notable figures of history. Upon entering the city, you might find a well-worn sign that reads: “Birthplace of King David.” And just below it, “Birthplace of Christ the King.” O little town of Bethlehem, your significance in the course of human history is not lost on us.
