What did you learn about Jesus` background that stands out or surprises you?

Cultural Setting:

  I forgot who women were only considered as seond-class citizens, almost that of slaves. That's amazing. I love though, how God always uses the lowest of society to humble those in power and also to display His glory.

It reminds me of Mary's Song also that either she or Elizabeth wrote about how God has been mindful of her state and blessed her beyond that of any other woman. God is so good to us isn't he?

It was a good reminder and insight as to how woman really are a vital part of Jesus' ministry. We can and do learn so much from those gospel stories that surround women.

The fact also that if anyone ever want to make a story more believable, you would have a more important character find the empty tomb. However, once again, it was a woman who found it. That doesn't sound like a story that someone would make up! It's true.

Finally, it speaks to me in how Jesus treats and has love/compassion for the women he encounters. He really is the model of a servant leader for husbands like me.

And the Word Became Flesh

Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, being God Almighty: "Who, being in the very nature of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, 7 but made Himself NOTHING, taking the very nature of  a servant, being made in human likeness. 8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death - even death on a cross! 9 Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 in that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:5-11)

This is the God that I serve! Jesus Christ is absolutely amazing and has been my personal saviour for about 13 years now. As this Christmas season is approaching, we think back to how much He humbled himself as Scripture says by coming down as a lowly man in order to become a sin offering for our stead.

He led a perfect and sinless life. In living as an actual man, he experienced all the pain and difficulties that we ourselves may experience in life. That is why, as it says in Hebrews 4, "For we do not have a high priest who is unable to symphatize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are- yet was without sin. 16 Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. Hebrews 4:15,16

Jesus is now before the Father, interceding for us on our behalf. He has given us the Holy Spirit to help us, and to remind us of all that He hath taught us. And sometime He will return in power and in might to bring all things, which are subject to Him unto judgement and to cast Satan into the fiery pit.
