A – Jesus’ Miraculous BIRTH
Miracle = An act or event that occurs outside the bounds of the normal or natural order.
Jesus, God’s Greatest Miracle
Virgin Birth of Jesus Christ
Foundational to the Christian faith
· you cannot be a Christian without believing in the virgin birth!
· Anything else is heresy and blasphemy!
o Jesus CANNOT be your savior unless He was sinless!
o Jesus COULD not have a natural birth – it carried the fall of the seed of ADAM
The purpose of the Christmas story is to reproduce miracles through you.
FIRSTBORN of MANY brethren!
Romans 8:29
Emmanuel – God is with US!
God wants to use US for MIRACLES
This miracle was performed by the Holy Spirit and was received by Mary and Jesus.
Path = FROM the Holy Spirit THROUGH Mary TO Jesus
1 – Miracles Flow FROM the SPIRIT of God
· Virgin – more than a young girl, more than a good girl
· G1097 γινώσκω [ginosko/ghin·oce·ko/][1]
· sexual intercourse between a man and a woman
Spiritual Principle – Miracles TO you, THROUGH you:
2 – Miracles Flow THROUGH the SERVANT of God
Miracles are used THROUGH those who want to be used TO – “God use me”
· used the SERVANT of God (Mary)
· Mary was not a perpetual virgin – or else Jesus would have been an only child
· Jesus had brothers and sisters – does not detract from His virgin birth.
· Jesus had four brothers and at least two sisters.
· James was the bishop of the Jerusalem Church – wrote the Book of James
Luke 2:6–7 (NLT)
3 – Jesus wants to use YOU for Miracles
The FAVOR of God
Favor of Mary
The FAMILY of God
The family of God does the WILL of God!
