Topic :The Uniqueness Of Jesus.
Memory Verse: Matthew 1:18. This was how Jesus, God’s Anointed One, was born. His mother, Mary, had promised Joseph to be his wife, but while she was still a virgin she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.
Bible Reading :Matthew 1:19-20 TPT. Key Verse : v18.
Her fiancé, Joseph, was a righteous man full of integrity and he didn’t want to disgrace her, but when he learned of her pregnancy he secretly planned to break the engagement. While he was still debating with himself about what to do, he fell asleep and had a supernatural dream. An angel from the Lord appeared to him in clear light and said, “Joseph, descendant of David, don’t hesitate to take Mary into your home as you your wife, because the power of the Holy Spirit has conceived a child in her womb.
There are deep things about Jesus Christ that made him unique. One of them is his virgin birth. This means that he was given birth to without the coming together of a man and a woman. If you check the account of Mathew, Mary was engaged to Joseph and they were therefore getting ready to marry when unexpectedly Joseph the son of Jacob who was from the lineage of David saw that his wife to be was pregnant. Having not known her, Joseph thought that Mary had played the whore. Because of the love he had for her, he wanted to break their engagement secretly to avoid exposing her to public disgrace and other attendant consequences as permitted by Jewish customs. God knowing his plans had to step in through his encounter Joseph had with an angel in a dream that resolved the entire puzzle.
“Mary was deeply troubled over the words of the angel and bewildered over what this may mean for her. But the angel reassured her, saying, “Do not yield to your fear, Mary, for the Lord has found delight in you and has chosen to surprise you with a wonderful gift. You will become pregnant with a baby boy, and you are to name him Jesus. He will be supreme and will be known as the Son of the Highest. And the Lord God will enthrone him as King on his ancestor David’s throne.” Luke 1:29-32. Six month into the pregnancy of John the Baptist by Elizabeth, Angel Gabriel who appeared to Zechariah and gave him the message of the birth of John, appeared to Mary greeting her in unusual manner which made her afraid. In her perplexity, Gabriel delivered her message to her, about God’s intention to use her to birth a saviour by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Now Gabriel said it clearly white talking to Mary that Jesus will be the son of God (son of the highest). Jesus was conceived as we can see by the spoken word of the angel and under the power of the Holy Spirit and not by human intimacy. That is the reason he can be referred to as the word made flesh who dwelth among us. “Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.” John 1:13-15 KJV. In Mathew 8:29, even evil spirits recognised Jesus as the son of God and left at his command because in the spirit realm, there are no cover ups. Himself said I and my father (God) are one.
—————————————- Thank you Lord Jesus because you are the son of God and God indeed. I worship you because to you must every knee bow and every tongue must confess your Lordship in Jesus mighty name…. Amen 🙏🏿.
