Luke 1:35 And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God."
When the virgin Mary asked the angel how she would become pregnant (seeing that she was a virgin and had no intentions of being anything less until that time when she would consummate her marriage with Joseph), the angel responded with the words above. Her conception would be the work of the Holy Spirit. The end result being the baby she conceived and would give birth to would be none other than the Son of God.
Let that truth sink into your mind and your heart. This little baby born in a stinky stable in the little town of Bethlehem some 2000 years ago ... born to a peasant woman and her poor carpenter husband ... was none other than God incarnate. For at that moment ... God the Son began his earthly pilgrimage as one of us. That's what Christmas is all about!
