Humility

 For the most part, God used humble everyday people to do his work. Mary, a young teenager, was a peasant girl. I think there are two reasons for this. First, God receives his rightful glory because we realize the person or prophet couldn’t have accomplished anything on his own. It had to be God working through the person. Second, if Jesus had been born in a palace, would the shepherds ever been let in to see him? God wants to have a relationship with each person, not just the rich and famous, who, frankly, don’t think they need him.
