 “The Greatest Miracle in Human History”

 

…...” Joseph, son of David,” the angel said, “do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.  For the child within her was conceived by the Holy Spirit. And she will have a Son, and you are to name Him Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins.”   Matthew 1: 20b-21

 

Mary, the Mother of Jesus was engaged to be married to a carpenter by the name of Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was STILL a VIRGIN, she became pregnant through the POWER of the HOLY SPIRIT of the Almighty God.  Now Joseph was a RIGHTEOUS man, and he did NOT want to disgrace Mary publicly, so he decided to QUIETLY break the ENGAGEMENT.  And while he was considering this, an Angel of the LORD appeared to him in a dream.   

 

The Angel told Joseph not to be AFRAID to take Mary as his wife, because the Child she was carrying was CONCEIVED by the HOLY SPIRIT of the LIVING GOD.  And the Angel informed Joseph that they would have a SON and they should call Him JESUS, because He will SAVE His people from their sins. These events were NOT unexpected, they were part of God’s Plan, and Mary and JOSEPH were also, a part of that plan.  It was a FULFILLMENT of Old TESTAMENT prophecy.  The Prophet Isaiah prophesied: “The Virgin will give birth to a Son, and they will name Him Immanuel, which means ‘God is with us.’  This IS the ESSENCE of CHRISTMAS!!

 

The GREATEST MIRACLE in HUMAN HISTORY is when the ALMIGHTY GOD became MAN.  The SON of GOD took on HUMAN FLESH and it was combined with the FULLNESS of DEITY and the FULLNESS of HUMANITY.  And the ONLY SON of the LIVING GOD became the GOD-MAN.  He is the ONLY ONE who can give SINFUL MANKIND FREEDOM from their SINS, and ETERNAL LIFE in HEAVEN with ALL its BLESSINGS. And to be ABLE to ESCAPE an ETERNAL LIFE in HELL, with ALL its HORRORS and NO WAY to ESCAPE, once you are there.  

 

This is what YOU MUST do in order to ACCEPT GOD’S GIFT of SALVATION and to spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN. You MUST ADMIT that YOU are a SINNER in NEED of the SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.  You MUST BELIEVE, with ALL your HEART that JESUS DIED for YOU, and that He is ALIVE in Heaven, making intercession for you before God.  You MUST CONFESS your SINS to Him and ASK Him for His FORGIVENESS.  You MUST be WILLING to TURN AWAY FROM, your SINFUL LIFE-STYLE and TURN TO GOD, with a TRUE REPENTANT HEART.  You MUST ACCEPT the GREATEST MIRACLE in HUMAN HISTORY, the LORD JESUS CHRIST as your SAVIOR and LORD.  And spend your ETERNITY in HEAVEN.  Do this NOW, while you STILL can.  He’s WAITING and COMING SOON!!!  Don’t be LEFT BEHIND!!!
