Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel – Isaiah 7:14
The mere fact that a virgin will give conceive and give birth to a Son, is in of itself a miracle. This is humanly impossible. Even Mary marveled. She exclaimed, “How can this be, since I do not know a man?”
And the angel, Gabriel explains to her how this miraculous birth will be achieved. “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Highest will overshadow you; therefore, also, that Holy One who is to be born will be called the Son of God.” He reminds her that, “For with God nothing will be impossible.”
If the Almighty could have Elizabeth, a barren woman conceive in her old age why couldn’t it be possible for Mary, a young virgin, who found favor with Him conceive in her womb and bring forth a Son, and call His name Jesus? (Luke 1:30, 31, 36). Yes, God can do the impossible and He did. In Mary, He fulfilled the promise which He made through the prophet, Isaiah and He named the Child Immanuel, which means “God with us.”
Thank You, Lord Jesus for leaving the glory of Heaven to come to earth to be with us.
