A Virgin Mother and a Heavenly Father

God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.

Do the work of the Lord share what you know from the bible and share your testimony of how you were healed or set free and God …

A Virgin Mother and a Heavenly Father

After Mary, the mother of Jesus, was betrothed to Joseph, but before they had marital relations as husband and wife, she was found to be pregnant by the Holy Spirit. Her husband, Joseph, was a good man and did not want to bring public disgrace to her. He had thought of a plan to secretly put her away. But while he was making his plans, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and told him he should not be afraid to complete the marriage with Mary as his wife, because the conception inside of her was of the Holy Spirit. (Matthew 1:18-20.)

After receiving this dream, he did as the angel of the Lord commanded him to do and he took Mary as his wife, but he did not have physical relations with her until after the birth of her Son, Jesus. The seed placed in Mary's womb was not seed from her husband, Joseph, but from the Holy Spirit. While the virgin birth is defined by the reality that she did not have sexual relations with a man before having a child, the truth is still evident that a seed was placed within her womb, because conception took place.

The Bible tells us that life is in the blood (Leviticus 17:11) and because the mother of Jesus was a virgin and His Father was heavenly, His conception was unlike that of any other man on earth.

"Therefore, just as through one man sin entered the world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, because all sinned-" (Romans 5:12).

The Bible tells us that God has made from one blood all the nations of the earth (Acts 17:26). Because of the sin of Adam, sin was transmitted to all mankind. This is why no man-Enoch, Noah, Moses, Abraham, Elijah-none of these great men of God could save the world. No matter how hard they tried, no matter what sacrifice they made, and regardless of their obedience, their blood would never measure up to the standard of perfection required to complete the plan of salvation for man (Hebrews 9:13-14). All the fathers of these great men were earthly. Their lineage was from Adam and therefore their blood was tainted with sin.

While the mother of Jesus was earthly, His Father was heavenly and therefore His lineage was from above. Because the Father provided the seed at conception by way of His Holy Spirit, the blood of Jesus was different from the blood of any other human on earth, and the only blood acceptable for the altar in heaven.

This is why it was so important for Jesus to finish the work He was sent to do. Had He yielded to temptation and sinned, there would have been no purpose in His resurrection. He was the only hope for the salvation of mankind.

"For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin" (Hebrews 4:15).

Jesus said in Matthew 18:7 that offenses will come. The issue is not whether offenses will come or not, but how we handle them.
