Colossians 1: 15-16 “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by Him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, ….all things were created through Him and for Him.”
If you are a believer in Jesus Christ, than you must believe in the virgin birth of our Lord and Savior right? Christ was not God because He was virgin born. He was virgin born because He is God.
I read in a devotional, and found it to be a great statement, but also great truth. “If Christ was not conceived in the womb of Mary by the Holy Spirit, if His biological father was Joseph, then He was a sinner. And if He was a sinner, then His death on the cross did not atone for my sins or yours.”
So the fact is, because Jesus was supernaturally conceived in Mary’s womb, He was fully God, and also fully man. Jesus even said in John 8:24, “Unless you believe that I AM who I claim to be, you will die in your sins.”
He was born “into darkness, sadness, desperate madness, creation so torn. We were so lost on earth, no peace, no worth, no way to escape. In fear, no faith, no hope no grace, and no light. But that was the night before Christmas.”
A lot of people in the world have a hard time believing that the truth of the cleansing of our sins was as pure as a Child. But that is a fact! Jesus, “the image of the invisible God” came to earth, went to the cross, died for our sins and rose again. Now He stands at the door of our lives and knocks.
As you celebrate Christ…mas, don’t leave Christ out of His own birthday. Open the door of your life and invite Him in.
