One way in which the birth and infancy narratives in Luke’s Gospel reflect the humanity of Jesus is that Jesus’ mother, Mary, gave birth to Jesus in a very normal manner for the time of Jesus’ birth. Luke Chapter 2 verse 7 says “She (Mary) gave birth to her first son, wrapped him in strips of cloth and laid him in a manger-there was no room for them to stay in the inn. ...
Another way in which the birth and infancy narratives in Luke’s gospel reflects the humanity of Jesus is that in Luke Chapter 2 verse 24 Luke says which would be deemed fit for a messiah which shows the humanity of Jesus.
Another way in which the birth and infancy narratives in Luke’s gospel reflects the humanity of Jesus is that in Luke Chapter 2 verse 24 Luke says Mary placed her son in a manger. ... Luke’s gospel is translated as “there was no room for them to stay in the inn.” This could be translated as there was no room upstairs, therefore leaving Mary to give birth downstairs with the animals. This shows the humanity of Jesus as Luke symbolises that Jesus could have been born in a room with animals and then wrapped in strips of cloth by his mother and then put in an animal feeding trough; a manger.
An additional way in which the birth and infancy narratives in Luke’s gospel which reflect the humanity of Jesus is that “A week later, when the time came for the baby to be circumcised, he was named Jesus…” (Luke Chapter 2 verse 21) This says that Jesus was circumcised a week after his birth.
