Salvation is Born. When Jesus is born, God wants to send an announcement. He chooses extremely unlikely candidates: shepherds. Jesus is the embodiment of salvation on earth and the arrival of grace. This baby, whose life is full of drama early on, has arrived to change the world.

Greetings, you who are highly favored!
Luke 1:28-33 (NIV)
The Lord is with you...Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of this father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his kingdom will never end.
God made a decision that it was time.
God wouldn’t just be with us, God would be one of us.
Love does amazing things.
Luke 2:10-12 (NIV)
Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Philippians 2:5-8 (NIV)
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross!
Galatians 4:4 (NIV)
But when the time had fully come, God sent His Son, born of a woman, born under the law, to redeem those under the law.
God wants to change the world we’re living in and turn it upside down.
