Not In The Usual Way

“Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel,” which is translated, “God with us.” Matthew 1:23

From our biology classes and parental instruction way back in the day we learned how human conception works. So also did the ancients know from teachers and parents that there was this enjoyable hobby that brought about babies. And then one day God said through Isaiah, quoted here in Matthew, that He would do it another way. When the time came, Mary heard it again from Gabriel, and she too had a bit of trouble understanding it. God told us it was coming and Gabriel announced to Mary that the time had come. Our only explanation is that the Holy Spirit would take care of it. Praise God!

And so it goes with our salvation. We cannot explain it, but we know the Holy Spirit will take care of all the changes needed in the heart of the sinner. Jesus paid the price, the Spirit of God works the magic in us, and we are saved! Get ready, here it comes!

Have a blessed Christmas in Jesus our Lord,
