Can Any Good Thing Come Out of Nazareth?

One day the Lord dispatched an angel named Gabriel with a very important message. He was sent to announce the coming birth of the Savior. God sent Gabriel because he was a very special angel. His name means “Mighty One of God.”

So God made a very likely choice for the messenger of this very important announcement. But God sent Gabriel to a very unlikely city. He did not send him to Rome, the political capital of the world. He did not send him to Athens, the cultural center of the world. He didn’t even send him to Jerusalem, the Jewish capital.

No, the Lord sent this mighty angel with this most important message to the little village of Nazareth. Many thought that it was impossible for any good thing to come out of Nazareth. But this unlikely city proves that nothing is impossible with God.
