God's sovereignty is seen at Christmas in several ways: God sent Jesus at the appointed time according to prophecy; God chose Mary and Joseph to be the parents of Jesus to fulfill the Davidic covenant; God ensured Jesus would be born in Bethlehem as was foretold; and God announced Jesus's birth to shepherds and led the Magi to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. All of these actions demonstrate how God sovereignly orchestrated events at the first Christmas to provide salvation for humanity.
