The message of God coming to be with us at Christmas echoes all the way back to the time of the Exodus, when God said to Moses “I have come down to deliver (my people)...” God knew the pain and suffering of his people and the time had come for deliverance. Moses was to be the conduit of deliverance, even though he was reluctant, which didn’t dissuade God. He patiently waited for Moses to come to terms with his new “mission”. God’s plan was unconventional which is a trademark of the workings of God. Think about it . . . deliverance through an ark, a seventy year old shepherd, a boy with a slingshot, and many other examples, but the best example is a baby born in a Bethlehem stable who came to save the world!! God is always working to bring us into relationship with Him and will use unconventional means if necessary.
