The story of the Virgin birth was a triumph of the Trinity. A declaration that God's plan of salvation declared by the incarnation of God as man, confirmed to mankind that the promise of redemtion, had begun and would be fulfilled.
This plan, referred to by some as the 'Scarlet Thread', had woven itself through thousands of years of human history, beginning with Adam and reaching its pinnacle with the birth, life and death of Christ.
How often do we think of our lives as merely a dot on the canvas of time. Christ was not the only person who's life was planned through ages, our lives too are planned by God. We should not underestimate our significance.
We should take heart that if God's plan saw its fulfillment in Christ, then our lives too will be a fulfillment of God's plan for the people we will influence. Indeed we can stand tall and say, "He who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it to the day of Christ!"
