Read Isaiah 7:14
In God’s plan, a young virgin would conceive and give birth to a son and this son was Jesus. This is not exactly how we would expect God to arrive! Why couldn’t he just beam down from heaven as a full-grown man and carry out His ministry with His disciples? Why go through the struggle of being an infant, a toddler, a teenager on His road of bringing redemption to His
people? The writer of Hebrews gives us an explanation…
Prayer emphasis: Meditate today on the idea that Jesus was willing to be born as a helpless infant, completely dependent on Mary and Joseph to care for Him. Thank Him for the life that He lived and gave for you.
For family discussion…
If Jesus had not been born as a baby to the virgin Mary but had rather just “appeared” as a grown man to call His disciples, would that change the way you viewed Him as your
Savior?
How does it make you feel to know that Jesus was both fully God and fully human at the
same time and came to rescue you?
