L
Christ , The Son Of Mary . . . His Virgin Birth
EDITOR-? NOTE ? Mr. War
ren's Christmas message was re
ceived too late for our Christmas
edition. Although Christmas 1947
has passed the spirij still lingers
and the message is "always new."
Isaiah 9:1.7; Mattr-i!18-25
"Therefore the Lord himself will
give you a sign: behold, a virgin
shall conceive, and bear a son,
and shall call his name Immanuel."
Isa. 7:14
"for that which is begotten in
her is of the Holy Spirit. And she
shall bring forth a son; and thou
shalt call his name Jesus; for it is I
he that shall save his, people from
their sins." Matt. 1:20b, 21
The Christian religion of the
whole world rests upon the fact of
the virgin birth of our Lord Jesus
Christ. "Have this mind in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus:
who, existing in the form of God,
counted not the being on an equali
ty with God a thing to be grasped,
but emptied himself, taking the
form of a servant, being made in
the likeness of men." Phil. 2:5-7.
The Incarnation means the pre-'
sence of the Divine in the human
and to base our faith in it on the
apostolic testimony means that to
become conscious of his presence
of the Divine in Christ we must
look at Christ where, through pro
phetic and apostolic testimony, He
offers Himself to our eyes
that is, in the life which He lived
among men, and in which He re
vealed Himself as Son of God, Son
of Man, and Saviour. The Incarna
tion mystery is the greatest won
der to all generations of past ages, ,
NOW, and for all to come.
May we ponder some great
truths of this wonderful event.
I. Prophets Prophesied of the
Virgin Birth of Christ.
"But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah,
which art little to be among the
thousands of Judah, out of thee
shall one come forth unto me that
is to be ruler in Israel: whose go
ings forth are from of old, from
everlasting. Therefore will he give
them up, until the time that she
who travaileth hath brought forth:
and he shall stand, and shall feed
his flock in 'lie strength of Jehovah,
in the majesty of the name of
Jehovah his God." Micah 5:2-5.
God made this divine revelation
to the prophet Micah in order that
the people may have a fore knowl- j
edge of what to expect.
God spoke to the heart of I. aiah,
and in his vision revealed to him,'
because he prophesied, "There
fore the Lord himself will" give*
you a sign: behold, a virgin shall ]
conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel."
Isa. 7:14. "For unto us a ^child is
born, unto us a son is given; and
the government shall be upon his
shoulder: and his name shall be
called Wonderful, Counsellor,
Mighty God, Everlasting Father,
Prince of Peace." Isa. 9:6. GOD
MUST COME TO MAN. He made
that known to the heart of man
long before the Christ Child was
born of the virgin. The decision
of God in heaven could not be
kept in heaven . . . it h^3 to be
made known to the heart of man
on earth. To the hearts of men
made ready God revealed his eter
nal plan of salvation, for a lost
world ... A little baby had to be
born of a virgin mother . . . THAT
was God's way. God spoke to the
world through the hearts of his
prophets what men could expect.
II. Mary, the Virgin Mother of
Jesus.
It is no doubt wisely provided
that we know very little concern
ing the personal history of "Mary
the mother of Jesus." The tradi
tions relating to her, so highly
prized by Roman Catholics, are of
no value. She was probably a de
scendant of David. We know noth
ing of her parents, or of any broth
ers; there is allusion to a sister,
who is by some identified with
are informed that Elizabeth was
are informed that Tlizabeth was
her kinswoman. Mary's early home
appears to have been Nazareth, and
she probably lived a life of pover
ty and toil.
as to her character, we are
somewhat better informed. In the
Gospel of Luke she appears be
fore us as a deeply pious maiden,
very prompt to believe what God
revealed, and anxious to have all
difficulties in the way of her faith
removed. She humbly rejoiced in
the high privilege secured to her
by the divine promise, and through
the years which followed thought
fully pondered the things which
occurred in connection with her
child. The familiarity with the
Scripture manifested by her song
of thanksgiving, shows how lov
ingly she had been accustomed to
dwell on the word of God. Mary
was of course not faultless, but
her character was worthy of her
high providential position, and she
deserves our admiration and grati
tude. Above all the "mothers of
the wise and good" maye we call
her 'happy', and cherish her mem
ory. But the utterly unscriptual,
absurd and extreme way to which
the Romanists have gradually car
ried their veneration of Mary, must
not drive us into the opposite ex
treme. Let us be sensible and be
lieve and accept what the Holy
Scripture teaches our hearts in re
gards to Mary, the virgin mother
of our Lord Jesus Christ.
III. The Word (Lord) Became
Flesh.
"And the Word became fleshy,
and dwelt among us (and we be
held His glory, glory as of the only
begotten from the Father), full
of grace and truth."
What a great moment! The veil
between heaven and earth has
been parted, and the doors open
wide . . . God comes to this earth.
Oh, the blessed moment, and the
joy for the soul of mankind! "And
the Word was made flesh, and
I dwelt among us." God became man
that men might learn to live in a
Godlike way. He took residence
on the earth that earth might be
more like heaven. He showed us
in his own Son that flesh need not
be a devilish thing, but full of grace
and truth. God revealed to us that
man does not have to live and
walk alone, but that God is with
him and in him. He lives am?n?
us ... He lives with lis . . . and
will live in us il we open our
hearts to him. God made this pos
sible because he been me flesh in
his own Son. and lived' oji eai'th,
and live*; on earth today, for the
tz I ' ? i v <! God an.! t.ie salvation o!' ,
all mankind.
This urea! hi-' ti ew?.:l is tin* |
symbol <>. a wonderful process. P j
| is ever God's purpo.-e that the Wo !
shall be made iles.n, that the phy
sical .shall be filled wi h i i> giorv;
that truth shall connect with life,
that virtue shall get into action
and conduct; and that the world
shall be a continual incarnation of
spiritual forces in human form.
God writes His truth not in flam
ing letters on the sky, nor does he
cast them in bronze or chisel them
in marble for the guidance of the
-race. He writes his truths in human
lives. "I beseech you, therefore,
brethren, by the mercies of God,
that ye present your bodies a living
sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto
God, which is your reasonable ser
vice. And be not conformed to this
world: but be ye transformed by
the renewing of your mind, that
ye may prove what is that good,
and acceptable, and perfect will
of God." This is the everlasting
results of the Word becoming
flesh, that all peoples may eome to
know their Creator, ever God the
everlasting Father.
IV. The Virgin Birth Is the
Foundation of an Unshakable
Faith in God.
Without the virgin birth of our
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ,
there would not be a basic founda
tion upon which mankind could
have an unshakable faith in the
Holy Triune God. God would not
be God for humanity. It is com
mon sense, upon common ground, '
that hlimnn reasoning cannot es- !
tablish a basic faith in human kind
as a saving God. Man knows that
man came as he came, and is as
he is; and man knows that Jesus i
came as mankind BUT man knows
that Jesus is more than man, be
cause Jesus came from God and
is God. Therefore man has cause
to have -an unshakable faith in
him as his saving God.
Now the birth of Jesus Christ
was on this wise: When his mother1
Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, i
before they came together she was
found with child of the Holy Spirit
. . . DO you get it? she was found
with child of the Holy Spirit . . .
And Joseph her husband, being a
righteous man. and not willing to
make her a public example, was '
minded to put her away privily.
But when he thought on these
things, behold, an angel of the
Lord appeared usto him in a dream,
saying, Joseph, thou son of David,
fear not to take unto thee Mary
thy wife: for that which is begot
ten in her is of the Holy Spirit.
CAN you believe that? WILL you
believe that? DO you believe that?
WHAT? That which is begotten in
Mary is of the Holy "Spirit . . . .
Jesus of God. And she shall bring
forth a son; and thou shalt call
his name Jesus; for it is he that
shall save his people from their
sins.
Because Jesus was begotten of
the Holy Spirit and did not come
from an earthly father, does not"
mean that he was not human. He |
emptied himself and took upon I
himself the form q/ humanity. It |
was the Divine act of the Almighty
God, not apart from humanity, but
working in the purity of a human
heart. Thus the conception of our
Lord Jesus was an immediate
creative act of the Almighty God,
and not of any human man. Our
Lord lived a full human life while
on this earth, yet he was the Son
of God.
The virgin birth of Jesus is the ?
one foundation for belief and
faith wherever mankind has ex
ercised Christian faith in God.
Take away the virgin birth and
you undermine, and destroy, the
very structure of our Christian I
f;.ith. There is nothing upon which
we can stand. Understand what
has happened to past generations
who refused to believe and accept
the virgin birth of Jesus, and see
the carry over that we have in
the hearts of those who refu>e to
believe it now. It results in d.-a
meement, confusion and ul' innate
ly sn:ritnal death. Without the vir
r.in birth of J'k i-. God's Word be
< . mcs void. It I ecMnc flesh and
dwelt c.mo'iy us. It you deny it,
you deny the fact of God who h;is
ill ere. tive power. W i.it can you
believe? Refuse to believe it, and i
you refuse the truth, and without
the truth you cannot be free. The
virgin birth is forever the only
way tarough which God sent His
Son into the world for the salva
tion of all peoples in all lands. Thart
is why the angel said to the shep
herds, Be not afraid; and heavea
opened with the heavenly host
praising God and saying, Glory to
God in the highest, And on earth
peace among men in whom he is
well pleased. That is wny we are
privileged to enjoy another happy
Christmas time together.
The door is on the latch today,
The hearth fire is aglow:
I seem to hear soft passing feet ?
The Christ Child has come.
My heart is open wide today,
For stranger, kith, or kin;
I would not bar a single door
Where love might enter in.
Note Of Appreciation
Rev. and Mrs. T. F. Deitz wish
to express their appreciation to
their friends for the many greet
ings sent to them and for the love
ly and substantial , gifts given by
their relatives and friends during
the Christmas reason. Being un
'able to see each one in person,
they wish to take this means of
expressing their thanks.
