Isaiah 7:14
Read this verse in depth with cross-references and study notes
God gave a sign that would unmistakably point to divine intervention in human history.
The virgin birth wasn't just a miracle for its own sake—it was necessary for the incarnation of God's Son. Only through this supernatural conception could Christ be both fully human and fully divine, born without inherited sin yet sharing our nature. The name Immanuel, revealed here seven centuries before Jesus, declares God's intention to personally bridge the gap between Himself and humanity.

Reflect on how God's plan of salvation required supernatural intervention, reminding us that we cannot save ourselves through natural means.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, thank You for providing the sign of Your Son's miraculous birth. We praise You for accomplishing what was impossible for us. Amen.
