Dear Children,
Last week, we learned that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. He was there before the world began, and He will reign forever and ever.
Today, we will learn another important truth about Jesus: He is the Son of God, and He is God. We can see this through His miraculous birth.
Normally, a baby needs both a father and a mother to be conceived. But Jesus was born of Mary, who was a virgin. This means Jesus had an earthly mother but no earthly father.
Let us look at Matthew 1:23, 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.
This verse tells us that Mary gave birth to Jesus while she was still a virgin. This was a miracle! Jesus was no ordinary baby. He is the only begotten Son of God.
In fact, God had already foretold this miraculous birth through the prophet Isaiah, hundreds of years before Jesus was born. We can read this in Isaiah 7:14.
Jesus is called Emmanuel, which means "God with us". His miraculous birth reminds us that He is the Son of God and that He is God.
Let us always remember that Jesus is God, and He alone is able to save us from our sins.
