Matthew 1:18-25 [Isaiah 7:14]

Christmas means that the Almighty God came to earth as a man to live a perfect life, and then to willingly die as the all-sufficient sacrifice for our willing disobedience……….our sins, so He could save all who repent of their sins and believe in Him.

The Bible tells of some miraculous and unusual births . . . Isaac was born to Sarah, who was almost 100 years old. Abraham was 99!
Samson was born to a woman who was unable to bear children.
The Prophet Samuel was born to a barren woman named Hannah.

And so was John the Baptist, was born to Elizabeth, also barren. But the Virgin Birth of Christ was, is, and forever will be, different from and greater then these.

WHY IS THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHRIST SO IMPORTANT?
The credibility of the Gospel of Jesus Christ depends upon it. The virgin birth–the incarnation it’s sometimes called–is the fundamental truth of the Christian Faith.

The foundation of our faith is that God became a human being in Jesus of Nazareth, our Saviour, God’s Anointed One, our Christ! Since Jesus was fully God and fully man, He alone is able to reconcile us to God.
Philippians 2:5-11

WHY IS THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF CHIRIST SO IMPORTANT?
The Entegrity of the Bible rests on it. All four Gospels teach that Christ considered Himself to be more than a man. “I and My Father are One,” Jesus said in John 10:30. The disciples regarded Him as more then a man, and they remembered what they heard and what they saw.

If the Gospel writers misrepresented who Jesus was and how He came into he world, how could we trust anything else they said?

WHY IS THE VIRGIN BIRTH OF JESUS SO IMPORTANT?
The deity of Christ requires it. The Pharisees once asked the Lord a question about Himself, a question that men and women are asking ever since:
“What think ye of Christ? Whose son is he?” (Matthew 22:42) Matthew answers that very question in Chapter One, Verses 18-25 of his Gospel.
