The Virgin Born Son

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son.” Isaiah 7:14

Here is one of those absolutely defining verses of Scripture. It is included in the great confession of faith, “conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.” Either this is true or it isn’t. If it is, God is faithful. If it isn’t, God is a liar. Too many so called Christian groups today try to make God out to be a liar. They insist that virgin doesn’t mean virgin. They do this because they don’t believe in miracles or the truth of God’s word.

The Jewish people always believed this verse meant a true virgin. When the Old Testament was translated from Hebrew into Greek over a hundred years before the birth of Christ, the Jewish translators specifically used the word for true virgin in the Greek text. They knew what it meant. It meant the Messiah would be unique, a virgin born child. This isn’t a verse we can lightly overlook or try to deemphasize. It is true and it points to the one and only Savior of mankind – the Virgin born Jesus Christ.

Dear Father, Thank You for the Virgin birth of Christ. Amen.
