"The greatest gift to mankind is the birth of Jesus Christ" (John 1:1, 10, 14).

Luke 1:30, 31, 32, 33, 35, 43, 47

Let’s take a look at the importance of the birth of Jesus, his blood, the significance of his role, and who he is;

1.  Mary would find favor with God and will be the chosen one to bear the flesh of the Messiah: This is the basis for the phrase; “Mary, Mother of God”- Luke 1:43. Mary is the mother of the anointed flesh of God in a natural sense, God was in Christ – Matthew 3:17, II Corinthians 5:19.

In a spiritual sense, Mary cannot be the mother of God Spirit because God’s eternal Holy Spirit cannot be created nor birthed by a woman. Mary was mother of God's anointed flesh.  God’s Spirit was clothed in flesh through the birthing process. This miraculous birth of Jesus was used by God to come down from heaven to die for our sins as the sacrificial Lamb (Acts 20:28). God is our Saviour Jesus Christ– Isaiah 43:10-13.

2.  God's name would be Jesus the Christ. The name of Jesus was established before the foundation of the world. He was that Rock that followed the children of Israel out of Egypt (I Corinthians 10:4) verse 31.

3. He would be a great King from the lineage of David and the Son of the Highest-verse 32.

4. His Kingdom will be everlasting – verse 33

5. He is recognized as the Son of God – verse 35

6. He is recognized as the one Lord - verse 43 (Ephesians 4:5)

7. He is God and Saviour - verse 47 (Isaiah 43:10-11)

I would like to give an explanation of the birth of Christ because there might be some who don’t fully understand this natural/Spiritual birth. In addition, there are some religions that don’t believe that God can have a Son. First you must believe that God can do anything that he chooses to do at any time or any place. If you don’t believe God can do anything, you will not believe that God can have a Son by a woman. Believe me, God can do anything including being born as a man (Isaiah 9:6).

God told Mary, a virgin, through Gabriel, that she is blessed and that the Holy Spirit will come upon her and she will bear a child (Luke 1:26-35).

Mary who had not been with a man, didn’t understand how this could happen. Mary questioned the angel about how this miracle could happen? It seems to me that this was a very good question. But let’s go a little deeper into this miraculous conception.

God put his Holy Spirit in the body of Mary. If we understand how the body works, we will not have a problem believing that the Holy Spirit is the seed that God put in Mary’s womb. Matthew 1:18, 20. In this case, the seed or the Spirit will become the Father of the child. God makes Himself a body.

Therefore, the newborn, a son, will take the name of the Father (John 5:43, 12:28-29, 13:31-32). The name of the Father is Jesus Christ, meaning “God with us.” (Isaiah 9:6, Matthew 1:23, Luke 10:21-24). Now ask yourself, how many persons are there? When the scriptures say, “God with us,” does that mean there is one God? That’s right, there is only one God. Thus, Jesus Christ is the only “God with us.” The name Jesus Christ is the name that God used to glorify himself because God will not give his glory to another (Isaiah 42:8). God had already told us, through Isaiah, that beside him there is no Saviour, therefore, we can conclude that Jesus Christ is God himself, the Saviour, born of a woman (Isaiah 43:10-13, Luke 2:11). In other words, Jesus Christ is not only the Son of God, he is also God himself, the Saviour – The everlasting Father – Isaiah 9:6.

In conclusion, based on our understanding of the birthing process and how fathers are classified, we can say that God is the Father of Jesus because it was God’s seed that was used for impregnation. God begot himself a body, which is the lamb of God (John 1:1, 14, 29). God was born as a man so that he could shed his blood and die for the salvation of mankind (Acts 20:28).

If you believe in one God, this shouldn’t seem so strange. These scriptures are very specific. Jesus Christ is a manifestation of “the one true God.” (John 1:14, I Timothy 3:16, I John 5:20). This blessed event was the greatest gift that God has ever given to mankind. The birth of Jesus Christ.

Luke 2:10-11

This is the blessed event and the greatest gift to mankind. The angel of the Lord announces that Jesus is;

1. The Saviour Matthew 1:21, Luke 1:47, 2:11, Isaiah 43:10-11

2. The Christ Matthew 16:16, Luke 2:11, I Corinthians 10:4

3. The Lord Matthew 3:3, Luke 2:11, Ephesians 4:5, Deuteronomy 6:4

These three titles, Saviour, Christ, and Lord are not three persons. There is One God who has three titles. Look at it from a natural point of view. I am a husband, father, son, brother, uncle, relative, etc., However, I am only one person. I have many titles, but I have only one name. God is no different. God is one person with one name (Jesus Christ – Colossians 1:14-19, 2:9-12). God has many attributes and titles but he has only One name for the salvation of men - Jesus Christ (Acts 4:12).
