Jesus’ purpose in coming to the earth was not just to give us the sweet picture of a baby in a Bethlehem manger. Certainly, the act of God coming as a baby, in the form of human flesh, was an astounding, magnificent feat that should keep us in awe of the God who designed it, planned it, and executed salvation to make salvation a living reality in the lives of everyone who believes.

But what did it look like for Jesus, who undertook this mission and willingly fulfilled His part in God’s great design and plan?

Episode 5

On the night Jesus was born, an angel appeared to announce the Savior’s birth to a group of shepherds who were out tending their livestock near the city of Bethlehem. There were many shepherds in Israel at that time, so exactly why did God choose to make such a heavenly announcement to this particular group of shepherds and not another group of shepherds? Was there something special about these shepherds — some reason the angel appeared to them and not to other shepherds? Was this just a random appearance, or was there a reason why that certain group received this historical announcement?

Why Did God Choose Joseph?

Episode 2

In this episode, we will see that, just like Mary, Joseph was also amazingly chosen by God above all other men in his time to be Jesus’ earthly father. There were many young men in Israel whom God could have potentially chosen to be the earthly father of Jesus, so was there a special reason, or reasons, why God chose Joseph and not another young man?

You are about to discover that Joseph was a man who had, by a relatively early age, already proven himself faithful and trustworthy for such a monumental assignment.

Why Did God Choose Mary?

Episode 1

Thursday, November 3, 2022 • Duration 20:06

Get the Book »

Have you ever wondered why God chose Mary to give birth to Jesus — to be His mother on the earth and to participate in raising Him? Luke 1:28 says she was “highly favored,” but why was Mary so “highly favored” that God would choose her to bring Jesus into the world? There were thousands of young girls in Israel at that time — any one of whom God could have chosen to give birth to Jesus. So was there a special reason, or reasons, why God chose Mary and not another young girl?

Our goal in this episode is to see what the Bible and other early sources tell us about Mary that may give us some answers as to why God chose her as the vessel to bring Jesus into the world in that stable in Bethlehem approximately 2,000 years ago.

Matthew is the only Gospel writer to record this heartbreaking event, but this tragic, horrific scenario happened, just as the Bible tells us. Strangely, this horrendous event wasn’t even recorded by the Jewish historian Josephus, a scholar who was careful to chronicle many of Herod’s horrific deeds. Why is that? We will address this question in this episode.
