Virgin Birth Not That Miraculous? Matt1:23 s4e19
Some folks don't believe the Bible because of the Virgin Birth. They make fun of it. They specifically don't believe because of it.
Hilarious, says I! In just 8 verses today, the Virgin Birth is the FOURTH most miraculous thing in the passage! That's right, there are much bigger things NOT to believe in if you are so inclined. It serves notice that there is a lot of miracle going on at this moment in history.
If you want bigger miracles, to believe or not to believe, here you go:
1. That God came down. Mary, Elizabeth, and Zechariah all are agog at the very thought of this. Absent this incarnation, this visitation, this rescue mission, we all are toast.
2. He will save people from their SINS. There you go again about the nasty sin word. It is our biggest problem. "What will you do about your sin?" Or, at least it is TIED with the big death question. In my mind, it is either the top 1 or is second in the most important questions in the world.
3. Even the Angel is a bigger miracle. You mean this other-worldly creature, takes flight or transport from the throne of God in another world and then enters Joseph's dream? Then tells him news than none other has ever heard? and then upon awakening, he immediately does it?
I don't want to compare quality of miracles, but I'm just sayin'...There are a lot bigger things not to believe, or TO BELIEVE. Listen to see what you will do.
