The message of the Savior of the world did not come to a King, Priest, or Prophet, but to a virgin woman in the lowly town of Nazareth. He always comes to those whom society views as insignificant to declare His glorious power.

This passage is a beautiful reminder of the way God works. The Messiah’s lineage was royal, but it was a seemingly forgotten line. He did not come to the rich, but the poor. He did not come to the strong, but the weak. Instead of sending the Messiah through the line of the most powerful monarch of the day, He chose a virgin woman in the lowly town of Nazareth.

Through an impossible situation, the Savior would come into the world to redeem men from their sin. Through the weak, the powerful redeemer would come to save sinners. Through the low, the Son of the Highest came. He did not do this because He had to, but He chose to. He always chooses to use the weak, insignificant, and poor instead of the strong, significant, and rich because through those vessels, His glory is best displayed.

How could this be any more true than in the birth of the Lord Jesus Christ? Grace, hope, and love wrapped up in a person came through the weak and lowly to declare His power and glory.
