“Therefore
the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and
bear a Son” Isa. 7:14 NKJV
For those who want to discredit the Bible,
the miracles that are performed all through the pages of Scripture are their
favorite target. Of course to deny them means that they must deny the
contemporary accounts, or original sources, and they must deny the multiple eye
witnesses who verify every miracle. But if you want to deny things you can
simply say they didn’t happen, say it loudly and often and hope no one notices
you offer no proof of your claim. The miracle of the Virgin birth is one they
really hate because it would mean that Jesus wasn’t just a man.
But God insists on this very point. Jesus is
not just a man. He was conceived by the Holy Ghost and born of a virgin. In
Genesis chapter 3 God said the deliverer would come from the seed of the woman.
That is specific. In Isaiah God said it would be a virgin woman. By the birth
of Isaac in Genesis God clarified that the promised seed would come by an
impossible miraculous birth. The New Testament puts its stamp on that truth.
Thank God for the miracle of Jesus’ birth.
Almighty
God, You are the God of might and miracles. Thank you for the Virgin birth of
our Savior. Amen
