I Rejoice Because of the Virgin Birth!!

As we consider this Christmas Season and celebrate the Birth of Jesus Christ, I am so very thankful and rejoice for the Virgin Birth. 

It is extremely important that we understand why the Virgin Birth was so necessary.  The Bible tells us that the Life is in the Blood.  Jesus said he was the Life and the light of Life.

When the first Adam sinned and took of the fruit in the garden something terrible happened to his body, his soul, and his spirit.  He became sort of REVERSE born again or changed into a different person.  His blood now had the sin nature which all mankind has inherited.  1 Corinthians 15:45 tells us that the Last Adam was Jesus.  Jesus was not born with Adams sin nature because his father was God. 

Dr. M.R. De Haan explains in his book, “The Chemistry of the Blood,” Physiologists have proven beyond question that the Mother does not impart her blood to the babe that is being formed.  It has been proven that the blood that flows in the arteries and veins of the babe is from the father of the child.


Mary herself wondered and told the Angel, “How can this be since I have never known a man?” 

The Angel told Mary that this Holy Child that will be formed in you will be conceived by the Holy Ghost, and the life in him will be from his Father God.  Mary said to the Angel, “Let it be so unto me even as you have said.”

God needed a blood sacrifice to atone for Adam’s sin.  Jesus was the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.  His blood was Holy because his blood was from his Father God.  That is why it is so very important to be thankful for the Virgin Birth, so that the Holy Jesus could shed his Holy Blood so that we could be saved and changed into another person.

So my joy today is that I am thankful for the Virgin Birth and all it means to purchase for you and me, -- the gift of salvation.

1Corinthians 15:45  And so it is written, "The first man, Adam, became a living soul," the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit.

Amen. Jesus Christ is the only perfect sacrifice that could remove sin permanently... The last sacrifice. The gift of free will exercised by Adam and Eve forever changed the nature of our flesh. The supernatural gift of free will is what sets us, in part, apart from animals. We have intelligence, the image of God to get to choose. Christ's sacrifice allows us to use that gift to acknowledge God and His redemption for His creation. It's all about His sacrifice for His creation. True love is demonstrated in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and God on our behalf. The word Merry seems to fall woefully short to describe the celebration we have to honor the birth of our Savior...

Sorry for rambling. Great wisdom you've shared. Rarely is the origin of our need presented, especially at Christmas. It's a perfect fit and time.

Good explanation. I've known a bit of it in the past through what I read through Rita Bennett's brother, whose name I can't remember, re: the birth and crucifixion. Good sharing.
