December 07, 2023:  Why A Virgin?

12/7/2023

0 Comments

 
Gabriel was sent "to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. And the virgin's name was Mary." (Luke 1:27, ESV)

Why a virgin? Why did God choose to bear the Christ child through a virgin? Because Isaiah 7:14 states, "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, ESV). This literally means that Mary was a young woman who had never had sexual relations with any man before. For her to get pregnant without the participation of a man would be a miracle and the fulfillment of scripture! This virgin birth would be a sign to those who believe that God was sending the Messiah into the world.

The angel Gabriel tells Mary two times, "You are highly favored!" It simply means she was chosen and had the favor of God upon her. Hearing these words really perplexed Mary, for she knew she was a virgin. She did not doubt God. She simply wondered how God was going to do this. 

The angel responds, "Behold!" What I am about to say is amazing! It will leave you and many others speechless. "And the angel answered her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God." (Luke 1:35, ESV) Mary's response is one of simple faith: "Let it be unto me according to your word."
