Isaiah 7:14
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Christ has been a part of God’s plan to save the world since the beginning. In Genesis, God tells the serpent that the descendant of Eve will crush his head, and that the serpent would bruise His heel. Thousands of years later the prophet Isaiah, guided by God’s spirit, told of a coming Messiah who would be born from a virgin. Sure enough, on a starry night in Bethlehem, that Savior took His first breaths in a manger, with angels in the heavens singing for joy. While Jesus’ coming was a surprise to some, His coming had been foretold for centuries. He was the spotless lamb who would save the world by becoming the sacrifice for the sins of mankind.
