The triumph of God over evil begins in the unlikely place of a child born in the midst of all the vulnerabilities of infancy. The Christmas miracle is God’s answer to all the evil, injustice, brutality, suffering, and death that we see around us.
Justin Martyr said: “And by her [Mary] has he been born, to whom we have proved so many Scriptures refer, and by whom God destroys both the servpen and those angels and men who are like him; but works deliverance from death to those who repent of their wickedness and believe upon Him.”
-Michael Bird, Evangelical Theology, p. 374
