Message Summary: The birth of Jesus Christ provided the world with three gifts: He gave us a sign, a Son, and a Savior. That exceptional nativity would lead to His perfect life, His atoning death, His bodily resurrection, and His eventual return to rule the world. God sounded forth the ultimate “prediction of His birth” through the prophet Isaiah who predicted the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. Let’s see why that matters.

For Your Personal Reflection
- How might you have responded in Mary’s situation being pregnant with child and still a virgin?
Using your sermon notes, answer the following questions:
- What was the political situation under Ahaz King of Judah?
- How was King Ahaz going to save Jerusalem and Judea?
- How did God work a miracle to save Jerusalem?
- Do you think King Ahaz believed God would save Jerusalem? Why?
- What is the significance that a virgin would conceive a Son?
- Read Matthew 1:18-25 and Luke 1:26-34 and discover the verses that would indicate Mary is a virgin even up to the time of delivering Jesus.
- What difference does it make whether or not a person believes that the child born to Mary was really the Son of God?
- What does Emmanuel mean and what does it tell us about God’s character?
Application
