Little Things About Christmas


God chose little people, places, things, and tasks to bring about the miraculous birth of the Son of God.
The angels did not appear to noble men of authority, but to simple shepherds -- little people.
A social wealthy woman was not chosen to be the mother of the Christ child. Mary, a simple godly virgin of Nazareth, received that honor. 
The King of kings and Lord of lords was not born in a sterile hospital maternity ward. When Jesus came into this world God chose a little town called Bethlehem and a cold, damp, and smelly stable. Scripture doesn't mention a midwife, so Mary and Joseph probably delivered Baby Jesus. His bassinet was an animal feeding trough. 
1 Corinthians 1:27,29 But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty. . . . That no flesh should glory in his presence. 
Little is much when God is in it.
