He traded the throne for a manger, eternity for time, majesty for humility &#8212; all so that you and I would know, without a shadow of a doubt, that we are not alone. Not abandoned. Not forgotten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He came to show us the way to live a life marked by peace when the world is noisy, joy when days are heavy, comfort when our hearts ache, and purpose in every step we take.
