Amen!

Our Lord and Saviour could have come as the emporer of Rome if he wanted. Instead he came to us through a humble, poor, peasant woman. He grew up in a rural, poor, backwater of the Roman Empire and he transformed us and the world.

The truth is a million times more powerful than fairy tales.

Amen.

"And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas?

And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things?

And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house.

And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief." -- Matthew 13:54-58

I always found the last verse interesting. "And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief."

If Christ had wanted to save them, he could have done His mighty works before their eyes and caused them to believe. But Christ understood their disbelief was ordained by God, and so He moved on and worked miracles in front of those whom He knew were His whom God had given Him.

Haad our Lord been the son of a goddess,then He would have been a demigod, and therefore not a suitable Savior.
