Isaiah 7:14

Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

700 years before the birth of Jesus, Isaiah prophesied the virgin birth of the Messiah. HOW DID HE KNOW? The LORD himself gave him this sign. THINK OF IT! This is fulfilled prophecy that ONLY GOD COULD HAVE FORESEEN. Then 700 years later the Virgin Mary DID CONCEIVE, and Joseph was told to name him Jesus (Savior), for “He shall save His people from their sins”. Was there anyone who ever lived like Him? NAPOLEON said, “I know men, and I tell you that Jesus was NO MERE MAN.” The Roman guards sent to fetch Jesus said, “Never man spake like this man.” True. He said and did things no other man has ever even conceived. When He was crucified for our sins one of the soldiers said, “Truly, this was THE SON OF GOD.” Let us worship and serve Him this Christmas season and through the coming year.
