Reflections on God's grace

I was in Church last Sunday and of course the service was about Mary and Joseph. The pastor quoted Phillip Yancy who reflected on the wisdom of God; "It is remarkable that God would entrust the future of the world to two teenagers." Then I thought, "What's even more remarkable is that God became a child."

Why did the savior of the world become a child? Perhaps what God is saying in this is that we are really saved by Grace and nothing else, that we are able to do nothing to save ourselves.

Jesus said, "Peace, I leave with you; My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, nor let it be fearful." John 14:27
