It's a powerful story of Jesus, the warrior—the One who has come to fight.  In Luke's Gospel, the evangelist juxtaposes Caesar Augustus, the emperor of the ancient world, with the new, true emperor—Jesus Christ.  Who was the best protected person in the ancient world? Caesar Augustus. But the true emperor arrives unprotected in swaddling clothes. Who was the most powerful person in the ancient world? Caesar Augustus. But the true emperor is willing to be born as a vulnerable infant. Who was the best fed person in the ancient world? Yet again, Caesar Augustus. But the true emperor becomes food for the world as he lies in a manger where the animals eat.
