What was it about Joseph and Mary that set them apart from everybody else? Why were the shepherds in that particular field picked to hear the angels glorifying God? Why did God choose Zachariah and Elizabeth to be the parents of the forerunner of the Messiah? What made them so special?

Nothing. They were the most ordinary people God had to choose from to unfold His redemption plan to the world. You see, that's the way God works. He uses normal folks to do His incredible assignments. The little towns of Bethlehem and Nazareth hold surprises as well as a shock that display why Jesus came to earth for us.

Join me in sharing their stories as we walk alongside them and learn lessons that will benefit us today. Don't be surprised if you see yourself in this story at some point. God's redemption plan is still unfolding.

Your view of the Christmas story will be forever changed as you realize God could call upon you to fulfill a special role in His redemption plan today.
