And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt

call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people

from their sins. Now all this was done, that it

might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord

by the Prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be

with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they

shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted

is, God with us.

MATTHEW 1:21-23

 

Thank God, Joseph and Mary could go back to the Word of God

and say; “It says that a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring

forth a son.” And this description of Jesus by the angel showed us

who Jesus is — Emmanuel, God with us, God manifested in the

flesh.

 

Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the

angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto

him his wife: And knew her not till she had

brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his

name Jesus.

MATTHEW 1:24-25

 

Now in John 1:1 we read, In the beginning was the Word

and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. This

“Word” was Jesus prior to His coming on the scene in human

flesh. Jesus didn’t come into existence the day He was born. He

preexisted with the Father and the Holy Spirit, the “three in one.”

The Father said to the Son, “You need to become a man

and pay the price for man’s sin.”

 

The Son said, “I will go. I will become a man.”

The Word was spoken as a seed into the womb of Mary —

not a seed from a natural man — but the Word of God was spoken

into the womb of Mary. And she conceived and brought forth

Jesus the God-man, who was without sin, without spot, and without

blemish.
