The Story of the Great King Gordon Nickel Imagine what the True King of the universe might do when exposed to the dangers of human vulnerability. This story is adapted from an ancient Arabic folktale – one of the tales of The Thousand and One Nights. It beautifully illustrates the incarnation of Christ.

“There are some of us who think to ourselves, ‘If I had only been there! How quick I would have been to help the Baby. I would have washed His linen. How happy I would have been to go with the shepherds to see the Lord lying in the manger!’ Yes, we would. We say that because we know how great Christ is, but if we had been there at that time, we would have done no better than the people of Bethlehem. Why don’t we do it now? We have Christ in our neighbour.” —Martin Luther
