This sounds like this last Sunday’s sermon at my church.
The incarnation was quite messy.
I can imagine how it all started, with Joseph saying to Mary, “You’re gonna have a WHAT???” and then her coming up with some story about an angel and the son of God. I think the “stork theory” holds more water.
And then he had to drag her hundreds of miles to a filthy, smelly animal cave – giving birth in a sewer might have been more comfortable and more sanitary.
I know that Easter is supposed to be the central point of Christianity. But think about this: God decided to become one of us. That’s one huge celebrity endorsement for the human race. Without the Incarnation, there would be no Resurrection.

The upside is that the magi (a group of at least 10 high-ranking astrologers) gave him plenty of gold several months later.
