God Use Ordinary People To Do Extra-Ordinary Things
He sent the angel Gabriel (that’s a miracle in itself, by the way). God could have chosen a priest’s or a king’s daughter to be the mother of the Messiah. But He chose Mary, an ordinary Jewish peasant girl living in the backwater village of Nazareth in Galilee .
When the angel Gabriel told Mary that God had looked on her with great favor, she was troubled by the announcement, and she wondered, “Who am I that an angel should come to me with a direct message from God. But that part of Gabriel’s announcement could not hold a candle to the main message that Mary would give birth to the Messiah, the Son of the Most High God! God would use Mary, an ordinary Jewish maiden, to do the most extraordinary thing.
God Made The Impossible Possible
Then Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”(Luke 1:34)
However, Gabriel reminded her (and us) that “nothing will be impossible with God” (Luke 1:37). And the angel answered and said to her, The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.
The miracle of salvation
For me this is the greatest of miracle , which is the miracle of salvation. God became incarnate to save sinners.
Why did the Son of God do this miraculous thing? (John 3:16) says “For God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not die but have eternal life.”
AS WE ENJOY THIS CHRISTMAS I PRAY YOU EXPERIENCE THE BLESSINGS OF SALVATION
