“Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.”
When you go to the woods, do you like to be prepared? Can you trust in your equipment? Some have this idea that if you can hit the target in the general area of the bullseye, your good to go. Over the years I’ve looked at that much differently. I want to know that when a deer or turkey steps into my shooting lane that my equipment is dialed in exactly where it’s suppose to be. Today, we are living in a generation where people think if the Word of God is close to the truth, its good enough. Why be close when you can be exact? I like my gun or bow to be tuned in exactly where its suppose to be, not in a general area.
Looking at this verse of scripture give your attention to the first word. It says, “Behold…” the word behold means to fix the eyes upon, or to observe with care. These next few words are extremely important. If you get this wrong, it’s going to cause some problems down the road. The new modern translations are starting to change what the real truth is. They are changing “a virgin” to “a young woman”. God does not give us something close, He is very precise and very exact! Hey, observe with care(behold), “a virgin shall be with child…” There are many infants born from young women today, but Jesus Christ is the only one that has ever been born of a virgin. The reason for this is because He was not conceived in sin by a man, He was God manifested in the flesh. You must understand that His innocent, pure blood was slain on calvary to pay for all of man’s sin. I Peter 1:19 “But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:” Satan wants the world to view Jesus Christ as a sinful man born in the flesh, but the Bible says, “Behold, a virgin shall be with child…” The Word of God is exact today! It’s perfect, without error! We can trust it! If we could learn to trust in it like we do our hunting equipment it would truly change our lives. How do you view the Word of God today? Do think it’s the closest? Do you think it contains some truth? It’s perfect in the King James Bible for the English speaking people. Don’t settle for less! Proverbs 30:5 “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.”
Jesus Christ came to this world for one purpose! YOU! Paul said the only way to have eternal life was to have repentance toward God and faith in our Lord Jesus Christ! If Jesus was just born of a young woman, He would have been like many others in this world, but the Bible says, observe with care, a virgin shall be with child. He was born pure so you could be saved through His innocent blood! Have a Merry Christmas!
