What Two Women Knew “God uses lowly men to achieve heavenly results.”

Have you ever noticed “the beautiful people?”

I went down to the local Dentistry College to meet a friend a few years ago, and I was confronted with a building full of “the beautiful people.” The young female dental students were all gorgeous and had beautiful smiles, and the male students were tall and good-looking, with broad shoulders and square jaws. I felt so out of place!

Interestingly, the world notices those who are physically attractive or come from ‘good families.’ There has been much research over the years. Anthropologists have concluded what most of us have observed: Those that are attractive and come from good backgrounds will get noticed first, receive preferential treatment in almost every area of life, and are even more likely to be elected to public office. People are naturally drawn to those that fit the profile of ‘the beautiful people!’

When you read your Bible, you will find that God not only teaches us to resist the tendency to show preferential treatment to people for any reason, but He also demonstrates that He is “no respecter of persons.” He loves all equally and chooses to use the efforts of anyone who will serve Him! 

During this Christmas season, we will examine the understanding of two women, Mary and Elizabeth, who were heavily involved in the early days of Jesus’ life and ministry. They recognized and celebrated that God could use them in a powerful way, even though they had no social standing at all. God loved and cared for them and allowed their essential roles in his kingdom-building here on earth. This holiday season, let us rejoice that God loves us all and wants us all involved in his plans for eternity!
