The Supernatural Conception and Birth of Jesus Christ
Was it the only one in the Bible?
No, but it was indeed the only truly unique one. To explain:
● The supernatural conception and birth of other sons of man. God touched the barren wombs of the following women:
1. Sarah, who gave birth to Isaac (Gen. 21:1-3)
2. Rebekah, who gave birth to Esau and Jacob (Gen. 25:21)
3. Leah, who gave birth to Issachar (Gen. 30:9, 18)
4. Rachel, who gave birth to Joseph (Gen. 30:22)
5. Manoah’s wife, who gave birth to Samson (Judg. 13:3, 24)
6. Hannah, who gave birth to Samuel (1 Sam. 1:2, 11, 19, 20)
7. Elisabeth, who gave birth to John (Luke 1:7, 13, 24, 25)
● The unique conception and birth of the Son of God
1. This was the only birth where the baby had previously existed (John 8:58)
2. This was the only birth where no earthly father was involved (Luke 1:35)
3. This was the only birth where God took upon Himself human flesh (John 1:14)
