Hello! Today we will learn the significance of the virgin birth. The sin nature came because of Adam, and is passed down through man. (Romans 5:12). But because of the virgin birth, the sin nature was not passed down because there was no man involved. Luke 1:30-35 shows that Jesus was to rule as a descendant of King David. Jesus was an heir to the throne of David, both legally by marriage through Joseph (Matthew 1:1-17) and also by blood through Mary. (Luke 3:23-38). The virgin birth allowed him to escape the curse of Jeconiah. In Jeremiah 22:24-30 God cursed Jeconiah and his descendants and proclaimed none of them would sit upon the throne of David. Joseph is a descendant of Jeconiah, but since Jesus was not biologically related to Joseph, he escapes the curse. The virgin birth allowed Jesus to be human while still retaining his deity. It also allowed Him to be an undisputed heir to the throne. Tomorrow we will study the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus. -Shane-
