Many people throughout the history of God’s people have received a great honour from God that was completely undeserved.
Mary, like those people, was nothing more than an ordinary human with an extraordinary privilege.
It is hard to conceive just how amazing it would be for a woman to receive news that she would give birth to the great saviour of the world.
In her humble state, she would be known for generations as blessed by God, for the great things that he has done for her.
Like Mary, none of us deserve to be known by Jesus nor to enjoy great blessings from God.
Yet, like Mary, God has greatly blessed all of us whom he has called to himself.
May this be a Christmas where we are reminded again of how great it is to be personally related to Jesus as Lord and saviour.
