Jesus had a supernatural conception.
Larry King when asked if he could interview anyone he said he would interview Jesus.
Larry King is the son of Orthodox Jews.
“If he was indeed virgin-born.
The answer to that question would define history for me.”
Larry King
“Before they came together she was found to be with child.”
Explanation - “from the Holy Spirit”.
EK - is translated "from/out of" denotes sources, origin, or cause.
You use this work in our English word "Exit".
It is important to know that the scriptures are claiming that the source of this conception is not man but God.
There were skeptics in first century times who hinted at Christ’s illegitimacy.

“Christianity does not hinge on the truth or even the stories about the birth of Jesus, it really hinges on the resurrection of Jesus.”
We can view it as a myth in the highest and best sense of the word.
Stanley in his own style kind of argues for an ambivalence towards the virgin birth.
Matthew is not ambivalent about this.
He puts it out not as an addendum but as essential to the story of Jesus.
Believing the Bible is true means accepting the supernatural conception of Christ.
Jesus had a specific mission.
Matt 1:21
Name meaning “savior” or “Jehovah is salvation” given to the Messiah.
Matt 1:21-
means “Yahweh saves.”
The name Jesus means “Yahweh Saves”
DA Carson Stated,
If God had perceived that our greatest need was economic, He would have sent an economist.If he had perceived that our greatest need was entertainment, he would have sent us a comedian or an artist.
If God had perceived that our greatest need was political stability, he would have sent us a politician.
If he had perceived that our greatest need was health, he would have sent us a doctor.
But he perceived that our greatest need involved our sin, our alienation from him, our profound rebellion, our death, and he sent us a Savior.
Christmas is about the miraculous intervention by God to save sinners like us.
