A few years ago, the Christian vocal group 4Him presented us with another new song to consider the Christmas story. This new song approached the message of the Nativity from the viewpoint of Joseph--the man chosen to be the earthly father of Jesus. The questions that are posed in the song are natural for a man in his position: Why me? Why him? Why here? Why her?

This little touching song reminds us that we don't fully understand why God does things the way He does. But the truth of the matter is that He does what He does the way that He does because He does. And this Christmas as we ponder the imponderable whys, it is just a comfort that He does what He does the way that He does because it's His way of expressing His love to His world. Perhaps it is a strange way to save the world, but it is also His way.
