If Christ were not chosen, than He is our Savior by chance... but since He was chosen, our Salvation is not accidental, but gloriously intentional. What a Savior!

One of the more popular tropes in American entertainment is the "rags to riches" story. While at first glance, Jesus' story might appear this way - a babe in a lowly manger who rose to great prominence - it is actually the reverse: a riches-to-rags story, teaching us important lessons about humility and humiliation.
