When Mary was told she was going to have a baby ,she asked the question,''But how can this happen? I am a virgin.'' The virgin birth is something that many people find hard to believe.William Barclay does his best to undermind it,likewise Malcolm Muggeridge they both squirm trying to make it a a normal birth. Both ignor what Mary said,'I am a virgin.'Luke 1 v 34', if we do not accept what Mary said, we are calling Mary a liar,also they are calling Luke a liar,yet he was a doctor,as one person comments,'It would have been just as hard for him to believe in a virgin birth as it is for us,yet he reports it as fact'Not only that they are denying what Isaiah declared,'Behold a virgin shall conceive,and bear a son,and they shall call his his name Immanuel. Isaiah 7 v14. the whole context would rule out 'a young woman ',it was a sign, a miraculous sign, and it is confimed by what Mary said.To deney the virgin birth we are denying the word of God,the word of God is full of miraculous signs, it had to be a virgin birth,if Joseph had been his father ,his fallen nature would have been passed unto Jesus,'Romans 5v 12'. One writer comments, 'Christians and Jews, who worship God as the Creator of the universe, should have no doubts that God has the power to create a child in a virgin's womb'.
