The Humility That Brought Salvation

Scripture Reading:
“Though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor…” — 2 Corinthians 8:9

🕊️ MEDITATION
Jesus was not born in a palace but in a manger.
He did not arrive surrounded by royalty but by shepherds.
This was not accidental, it was divine humility.
God chose humility so salvation would be accessible to all.

Jesus’ birth teaches us that greatness in God’s kingdom is not about position, but about obedience and surrender.
The manger preached a message:
God resists pride but releases grace to the humble.
