So many of the characters in the Bible, if they were not involved in the salvation story, they would have been forgotten to history. If David had never become king, he would have just been a shepherd. If Abraham had not been chosen by God to become the father of the nation of Israel, he just would have been another guy from the land of Luz that died. Mary was a nobody. She was a poor lady that was betrothed to a man. She wasn't even—well, legally she was married, but she was not even anybody's wife in an official sense. She was just another person. Elizabeth, Zacharias, again, same thing. These are just ordinary people amongst crowds of people God picked for seemingly no specific reason.
