“The Sign of the Savior” Isaiah 7:10-14

TRANSCRIPT

Date: December 15, 2024 Author: Wayne J. Edwards

The “virgin birth” – i.e., the “immaculate conception” was universally accepted in the Christian church until the “Age of Enlightenment” – when man’s interpretation and understanding of the Bible became more authoritative than the actual divinely inspired, infallible, and inerrant Word of God. Instead of man going to the Bible in search of God’s truth, wisdom, and understanding, man began viewing the Bible through his intellect and comprehension. The Age of Enlightenment was the first step down the road to the liberal theology undermining the truth of God’s Word today, which is why only 37% of today’s pastors have a Biblical worldview. To deny the immaculate conception of Jesus is to deny the key component of the gospel, that God came to this earth in the form of a human being to redeem mankind from the penalty of sin. Therefore, to deny the incarnation of Jesus is to deny the authority of the Scriptures, which puts every doctrine of the Christian faith in question. The efficacy of the gospel rests upon Jesus’s deity and humanity. Jesus had to be a human being to pay the wages of sins, but He had to be deity for His death to pay the wages for the sins of all who would believe in Him. If Jesus was born of human parents, He could not have been exempt from Adam’s sin, which means He died for His own sins, and not ours. The truth is found in John 3:16, John 1:1, John 1:14, and in Galatians 4:4. We are in the middle of our sermon series entitled The Whole Christmas Story. The title of this sermon is “ The Sign of the Savior.” Thank you for forwarding these sermon study guides to those you think might be interested.

When it comes to the Christmas story, most people turn to the gospels of Matthew and Luke, which outline the historical and prophetical events of the first coming of the Lord Jesus.

One of the foundational truths of the whole Christmas story is what is called the “Virgin Birth.”

Biblical scholars have identified over 300 prophecies in the Old Testament related to Jesus’ birth, life, death, and resurrection.

According to every Creed, the “Virgin Birth” is included an essential doctrine of the Christian faith, i.e., one cannot be a Christian without embracing the immaculate conception of Jesus.

When God sent His word to Ahaz, he replied: “I will not ask, neither will I tempt the Lord” , and he died in his unbelief! When God sent His word to Mary, she replied: “Behold the handmaid of the Lord; let it be unto me according to thy word!” What is your answer to Him today?
