MOBILE, Ala. ( WKRG ) — Joining us this morning is Justin Driver with Forward Church. It is the Sunday before Christmas, a very big weekend for a lot of churches around the country. What’s the part of the Christmas story that you enjoy highlighting every year?
Driver: I love Jesus, is Emmanuel God with us. He was sent by God to live the perfect life, to die the perfect death, and remove the sins of the world. The life of Jesus is always the focus of Christmas in this season.
Petri: There are a lot of characters in the Christmas story. What can we learn about humility from Mary’s story in particular?
Driver: Yeah, I think it’s important to to understand that God doesn’t always look for the brightest, the most intellectual or the high class, but he looks for availability. And I think when we make ourselves available to God, we put ourselves in a position to do great things for him.
Petri: When looking at Mary and Joseph work in their story of traveling to Bethlehem, teach us about trusting God, because they put a lot into that.
