In his Commentary on Luke 2, Matthew Henry writes:

LUKE 2:8-20

The meanest circumstances of Christ’s humiliation were all along attended with some discoveries of his glory, to balance them, and take off the offence of them; for even when he humbled himself God did in some measure exalt him and give him earnests of his future exaltation.

(1 Timothy 1:2)….Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord
