The Virgin Born Savior

The Virgin Born Savior Luke 1:26-38.

Christianity has claims that no other religious group in the world has to offer.

A very basic claim is that our Savior was born of a virgin woman named Mary.

Mary was favored and blessed by the Lord.

Joseph and Mary were espoused or engaged.

God never intended for Mary to be worshiped.

She was a special woman but we find in the Bible that she need a Savior.

Lu 1:46,47 And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.

You do not worship people who need a Savior.

Only Jesus is to be worshiped and praise to the highest heavens!

Several things about the virgin birth of Christ:

1. It is mandatory. (Jesus to be born pure)

2. It is miraculous.

This birth of Jesus was absolutely a miracle

3. It is meaningful.

Christianity takes on a special meaning and significance because of it.

Our Savior is different than any other kind of Messiah or Savior.

Ours was supernaturally conceived of the Holy Ghost.

Lu 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

I. The Prediction of His Virgin Birth (Micah 5:1-6)

A. Born in "Bethlehem" means, "house of bread."

Jesus the "Bread of Life"–that which could satisfy the hungry soul would be born.

B. An Eternal One

Jesus did not just begin- but He did begin other things.

He merely assumed a "human form."

C. A Ruling One

Micah 5:2 says, "He is to be ruler in Israel." That has not happened yet.

It is a future time, when during the millennial reign of Christ, He will rule upon the throne of David from Jerusalem.

D. A Great One

"He shall be great unto the ends of the earth" (Micah 5:4).

E. A Peace Giving One

"This man shall be the peace" (Micah 5:5).

II. The Purposes of The Virgin Birth

A. Provide A Savior

It would take a perfect sacrifice to save the souls of men.

OT the sacrifices had to be offered over and over again.

He had to have a sacrifice that could take your place.

B. Show God has power to do the impossible.

He by passed the natural way of giving birth and made it a supernatural and spiritual thing.

C. Paralyze The Devil

The Bible says in 1 John 3:8–" For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. "Destroy" means to "render inoperative."

Can have the idea of paralyzing.

D. That we could have Abundant Life

Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

III. The Provisions of the Virgin Birth

A. There never has been anyone just like Him.

The God man–Deity and human join together.

B. An Understanding Provider

Heb 4:15,16 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.

C. An Unchanging Message

He will never cease to be the Perfect One, so we will never have to change our message.

D. An Undying Love

Though man had sinned and grieved God, the Lord gave his life for everyone!
