<p>The birth of Christ reminds us that the Christmas story isn’t just something we remember once a year, but a revelation of how God works in real lives to bring about His purposes. God honored Mary’s singleness as a fitting context for obedience and chose Joseph as a righteous man who protected, provided, and obeyed God despite cost, showing that worth and calling come from submission to God’s Word, not cultural expectations. Together, they challenge us to examine whether our lives, families, and work reflect the same trust, obedience, and alignment with what God values.</p>
