Mary asked the angel, “But how can this happen? I am a virgin.” The angel replied, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the baby to be born will be holy, and he will be called the Son of God.” – Luke 1:35(NLT)
THE SON OF GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Our heavenly father is the source of love and light
In him, there is no darkness and we can enjoy life
When he chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus
Purity and obedience made her very precious
She was a simple woman who had much humility
Despite her apprehension she followed God’s call faithfully
The angel explained that the Holy Spirit will come upon her
The power of the Most High will overshadow; no need to cower
She was chosen as the vessel to make the prophecies come true
God gave her great favor so others can change and be renewed
The Son of God was given to us as proof of the Father’s faithfulness
He is reassuring us all that we shall be filled with much joyfulness
No one expected that Jesus Christ will be born in a manger
He was wrapped in swaddled cloths and was amidst danger
Yet, God delivered his promise of salvation through Christ
He wants us all to know that we are all precious in his sight
Have you ever been loved unconditionally like this?
Who can ever give everything just for you to be free?
PRAYER
Lord, thank you.
REFLECTION
What has Jesus done for you?

This is how Jesus the Messiah was born. His mother, Mary, was engaged to be married to Joseph. But before the marriage took place, while she was still a virgin, she became pregnant through the power of the Holy Spirit.
– Matthew 1:18 (NLT)
VIRGIN BIRTH
A poem and essay by ILMA
What makes Jesus different from humans?
His mother Mary followed God’s command
His virgin birth proves he is the son of God
She didn’t question God and was given laud.
Her purity and obedience made her worthy of praise
Mary was chosen because she was pure and chaste
The Holy Spirit conceived Jesus in her womb
Rejoice that Christ was born to save us from doom.
If an unbeliever questions you how you can prove that Jesus was the son of God, how would you answer it? I had a therapist who actually claimed that Jesus was only a teacher and just like any other human being.
The bible tells us that the fact that Jesus was born of a virgin and was conceived by the Holy Spirit makes him totally superior than any human. Another proof that he is a God is that he fulfilled the Scriptures prophecy long before he was born. It says that he will come from the lineage of David and that he will be born of humble origins.
PRAYER
Lord, help me to give you praise.
REFLECTION
How can you continually believe the Messiah amidst trials and suffering?
