Jesus was fully human and fully divine. The power of the Most High overshadowed Mary, she conceived in her womb, and she bore a son who would “be called holy – the Son of God.” ((Luke 1:35) God, in His wisdom, ordained the combination of human and divine influence so Jesus’ full humanity would be evident in the fact of His ordinary birth, and His full deity evident through the powerful work of the Holy Spirit.

And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son.

Luke 1:31

How calmly Mary accepted her commission from God! “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.” (Luke 1:38) It proved she had immersed herself in the Scriptures of the Old Testament. She knew the promise God had made to His people in Isaiah 7:14 and firmly believed He would fulfill them.

The virgin birth is an unmistakable reminder that salvation can only come from the Lord, never from human effort. The sinless Lamb came to Earth to redeem you. Pray that you, the people of this nation, and America’s leaders will understand the awesomeness of God’s perfect gift…the Savior, Christ the Lord.
