Why God chooses the Humanly Weak through Which to Display His Power

When our Creator chose to enter this world, He did not choose the temple in Jerusalem with Levites blowing trumpets and the priests announcing his arrival. Neither did He choose to make His entrance in Rome introduced by the great Caesar with all the pomp of imperial Rome. Instead, He chose to enter this world in the humblest of circumstances—a stable in a small, insignificant village far removed from the centers of religious and political power. 

God chooses weak and humble vessels to display His power and Paul learned this principle, which he tells about in II Corinthians 12:8-10. When he asked God to remove a certain weakness from his life, God said to him, My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is maximized in weakness (literal trans.).

In the above 20-minute video, Eddie emphasizes that if you feel weak and inadequate in yourself, then you are the kind of person God will use to display His glory. This is a Christmas nugget of which the church and world needs to be reminded.
