God's great plan of salvation is worked out through the humble: Israel a nation formed out of lowly slaves... David the shepherd exalted to rule... and God's selection of a humble teenage girl from a remote farming village to give birth to Jesus... God with us. Get a FREE copy of our eBook "Who Was Jesus?"

The circumstances of Jesus' birth tell us about how God sees life. Humanly devised systems of status, power, and wealth mean nothing to God. So we should ask, why do they mean so much to us? God has a plan for you... salvation from death... resurrection... placement within His family... participation in the universal rule of God. And, it is not based on your material achievements, status, or wealth. A better picture of God's life priorities is found in Jesus' birth in the flesh. Nobody in this world, but set apart, to serve God's purpose, to give Himself as a sacrifice to God, and to rise up to everlasting life. With that in mind, let's review the birth of Jesus and consider the different reactions it produced in those who were on the scene.
