A Virgin Gives Birth
A VIRGIN GIVES BIRTH
As we approach this Christmas season we will look at some things about the “REASON FOR THE SEASON”, which is Jesus Christ.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
This prophecy was given by Isaiah some 700 years before the birth of Jesus Christ.
Man would say that this is simply not so nor could it have ever happened, but it did. When Isaiah spoke these words do you think he understood the full meaning of them?
For it would have seemed just as impossible to him as it does to the world today, but he accepted it on faith, just as we do today. Then we have the New Testament scripture that Mary fulfilled:
Luke 1:26 And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,
27 To a virgin espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.
28 And the angel came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among women.
29 And when she saw him, she was troubled at his saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation this should be.
30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.
31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
34 Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
Mary even questioned how this could be, as she was a virgin. How could this be?
With God nothing is impossible we need never forget that. Listen, if He says it is going to be it is going to happen. It does not matter what science or logic says, if God says it you can take it to the bank. If your Bible reads anything other than virgin in these verses it is taking away the truth that God spoke of. Many say they are Christians and do not believe in the virgin birth. If you don’t believe in His miraculous birth how can you believe in anything else? It happened just as it was prophesied and spoken to Mary.
Luke 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem;
5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child.
6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered.
7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.
A virgin had a baby and he was the Son of GOD. Hallelujah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
HAVE A GREAT DAY
