Messenger: The Holy Spirit will come upon you. The Most High will overshadow you. That’s why this holy child will be known, as not just your son, but also as the Son of God. … To make clear that the Son of Man has the authority on earth to forgive sins (turning to the paralytic man on the mat), Get up, pick up your mat, and go home.
Dear Ones: Son of Man! When Jesus healed the paralytic man, He called Himself the “Son of Man.” The angel who spoke to Mary revealed that the child she would birth would be the “Son of God.” Therefore, we see the testimonies of the angel and the Lord Jesus verify that He is true God and true Man. God incarnate. (Incarnate means to be clothed in flesh.)
The wonder of His immaculate conception and birth goes far beyond the science of this age. When artificial insemination is done, there must be a donated male sperm and a female egg. We have gotten used to hearing about such things, but the Lord God did not use that type of science. The power of God came upon Mary and imparted the seed of God. Only God could do this which is far beyond the capabilities of human science.
Some scientists want to diminish the birth of Christ by implying that they are able to duplicate God’s works. But when we look at the truth of Christ’s wonder-filled birth, we realize that only God could have done this thing. John 1:14 confirms for us, “And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
Reflect on the truth that the Lord Jesus is the Son of Man and the Son of God: God in the flesh. He came to rescue mankind from the clutches of sin and death. Let this Christmas season be filled with your gratitude and awe of such a demonstration of Love. It is a good day to be thankful for His birth. I bless you in Jesus’ name.
