“For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.” 2 Corinthians 8:9
Jesus came into this world in the most unusual way for a King. The circumstances surrounding His birth alone is a message to the whole world.
The Christmas message is a message of hope. It is a message which says that God can bring greatness out of a manger. It doesn’t matter how humble your background is.
Jesus had a worse background just to show that you can soar high and rule notwithstanding your background.
Jesus’ coming from Nazareth tells us that God does not discriminate against the lowly so He made sure His son came from one of them. John 1:46 says:
“…Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?”
Some may have asked “Can anything good come out of your family?” The answer you should give them is “Yes, I am the good thing that is coming out of my family”.
Your greatness is assured in the mighty name of Jesus.
Father, thank you for the hope we have in Christ Jesus IJN.
Shalom!
Amen
