God Among the Dispensable (Luke 1:39-55)
That's the thing about humiliation, it's not just about embarrassment; it's what's left after embarrassment has moved in and made a home. It's the vulnerability so much of the world knows first hand and only too well.
Humiliation is trying to figure out how to keep the lights on and pay the rent, let alone buy Christmas presents for the kids when the Senate doesn’t think the plight of the average American is nearly as important as saving corporations from liability in their business decisions about Covid.
It's having nowhere else to go and no way to get there even if you could.
Humiliation isn't just a feeling; it's a state of being, a way of life for far too many people in the world.
And so Mary’s the perfect person to carry the child who will grow up to fight for people just like her—those who must dine daily on the bread of tears and the fruit of shame. She’s exactly the right person to sing a song of deliverance and justice for those who’ve grown used to bringing up the rear.
