Vessels

From an outward perspective, Mary and Joseph were unlikely choices to bring a King into the world.

Luke 1:26-38

1 Corinthians 1:26-30

1 Samuel 16:6-7


People tend to look at the outward appearance whereas God looks at the heart.


God chose Mary and Joseph because they were humble servants whose greatest desire was to be faithful to His plans.


Mary and Joseph show us that the only prerequisite to being used by God is a humble and submitted heart before Him.

2 Timothy 2:19-21

Mary and Joseph's response to the angels showed their faith and trust in God.


God is still looking for people to use to reveal himself to the world.

Matthew 9:36-37
