Luke 1:34
“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”

Christianity does not rest on the Virgin Birth; two of the four Gospels don’t even mention it. Faith rests on the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, not on His virgin birth.

Paul explained, “And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith” 1 Corinthians 15:14.

In Jesus, God began a “new creation,” for through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, sin’s power would be broken. In Jesus, people can come to God for a relationship and be freed from the power of sin.

Jesus was God’s Son before He was even conceived in Mary’s womb. He did not become God’s Son at a later time. He was not accepted as God’s Son because of good behavior or obedience.

He was not a man promoted to that position. God’s Son was born God’s Son. In the birth of Jesus, God Himself became human and entered the world; to save fallen human beings!

In that lies the miracle!

People are not meant to explain it, prove it, or ignore it!

We are meant to believe it and worship God who made it happen.

Jesus was born of a woman, He was a human being; but as the Son of God, Jesus was born without any trace of human sin.

Jesus is both fully human and fully divine.

Because Jesus lived as a man, we know He fully understands our experiences and struggles (Hebrews 4:15-16).

Since He is God, He has the power and authority to deliver people from sin (Colossians 2:13-15).

We can tell Jesus all our thoughts, feelings, and needs.

He has been where we are, and He has the ability to help.
