Hey Brother, listened to a great message on Sunday. It was why Jesus choose to be born in a stable. A place where animals make a smelly mess. Jesus came to be "one of us" not an elite. Also, He came to us in a smelly, dirty garbage filled place just as he comes into our hearts which are really no different.
All this make believe around Mary only sidetracks us from how merciful our Savior is. Christianity is the only religion I know of where God humiliated Himself for us.
