This message forms Part 3 of our Christmas series – Hidden in Plain Sight – highlighting the glory of Jesus compared to the humility of his incarnation. He was something, but he became nothing so that we who were nothing might become something.

“For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich.” – 2 Corinthians 8:9 (NIV)

Jesus deserves the worship of every living creature. Angels freely gave him worship and filled the skies with song at his birth. These angels were not put off by his lowly appearance. On the other hand, as humans, we tend to worship things that are awesome in appearance and place great value on what we can see, all the while passing over things that seem dull but may be far more valuable.
