“Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” (Isaiah 7:14).
Parents around the world have heard many excuses why their unmarried daughters become pregnant. Many a parental heart has been broken as they listened to all sorts of explanations. There was one unmarried young lady who was the exception. Though Mary was not sinless, she truly became pregnant without any sexual intimacy with a man. God performed a mighty, mighty miracle as the virgin Mary conceived and bore the Son Whose very Name conveys that God had visited His people. I want to stay focused on the real and only reason for this precious season. The Lord Jesus is our Immanuel, “God with us.”
For today: Amidst all the busyness of this Christmas season, don’t forget the miracle of “God with us” and a “virgin shall conceive, and bear a Son.”
