The Son of God came to the world to be our Savior. Luke tells us the very personal story of who Jesus is, what He said, and what He did. Every story has a beginning. Remember Christ is eternal and has always been, but there was a point in history when He came to us, to make plain who God is and to do what is necessary for us to be reconciled to God.

Christ was born of a virgin. Why is this so significant?

God says uncomfortable things. He uses words we’d prefer he didn’t. Where we would be delicate or euphemistic, God blurts things out.
