The circumstances surrounding Jesus’s birth into an imperfect world contain implications for contemporary families. God is present to all kinds of people—abandoned spouses and children, families who leave their countries because of political or economic turmoil, the poor, the wealthy, non‑Christians, and Christians alike, people living in poverty, unwed mothers and fathers, or those suffering the anguish of separation and divorce.
