Introduction:<\/strong> Read Matt. 1:18-25.<\/p>\n

1. There are many that balk at becoming a Christian at the story of the Birth of Jesus.<\/p>\n

2. They “know” how things work and it’s easier to believe in an impure Mary than a Virgin Birth.<\/p>\n

3. We are asked to believe based on the testimony of Mary and Joseph, mainly Mary.<\/p>\n

4. It’s an essential matter of Christian faith. No virgin birth of Jesus, no Son of God. It’s the end of the matter; no Messiah.<\/p>\n

5. BUT. How can we believe it? If one of our neighbors came up with such a story we’d laugh.<\/p>\n

6. Mary needs corroboration. Only when we have further testimony does the story stand. AND STAND IT DOES!<\/p>\n

DISCUSSION:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I.   THE TESTIMONY OF THE FATHER.<\/p>\n

1. Matt. 3:17.<\/p>\n

2. Matt. 17:5<\/p>\n

3. These were events in time and space. There were witnesses to tell it.<\/p>\n

II.  THE TESTIMONY OF THE SON.<\/p>\n

1. John 8:58.<\/p>\n

2. Matt. 7:21; 10:32; 11:27.<\/p>\n

3. Luke 8:25<\/p>\n

III. TESTIMONY OF THE APOSTLES.<\/p>\n

1. Saw the miracles, John 20:30-31.<\/p>\n

2. Blessed by Jesus for confessing, Matt. 16:16.<\/p>\n

3. Knew Him to be sinless, 1 Pet. 2:22; 1 John 3:5.<\/p>\n

4. Eyewitnesses, 2 Pet. 1:16.<\/p>\n

5. The empty tomb, Matt. 28:6.<\/p>\n

Conclusion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Mary is fully and adequately corroborated.<\/p>\n

2. Jesus is the virgin born Son of God. The Messiah.<\/p>\n

3. Let the unbeliever examine the full story and believe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
