Transcript Slide 1

While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus
asked them, Saying, What think ye of Christ? whose
son is he? They say unto him, The Son of David.
Matthew 22:42
Some modern religions deny that He is the Son of God
Many modern religious leaders deny His Deity
Many ask, “Does it really matter whose Son He is?”
Indeed it matters a great deal
If the virgin birth of Christ is not true:
The Bible is not true
His doctrine is not true
We have no hope
The integrity of the Bible is at stake
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman,
and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise
thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:15
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign;
Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 7:14
Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise:
When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph,
before they came together, she was found with child
of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being
a just man, and not willing to make her a publick
example, was minded to put her away privily. But
while he thought on these things, behold, the angel
of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream,
saying,
Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee
Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is
of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son,
and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save
his people from their sins. Now all this was done,
that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the
Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be
with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they
shall call his
name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God
with us. Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as

him his wife: And knew her not till she had brought
forth her firstborn son: and he called his name
JESUS.
Matthew 1:18-25
The integrity of the Bible is at stake
The Deity of Christ is at stake
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and
the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name
shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God,
The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the
increase of his government and peace there shall be no
end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to
order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice
from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of
hosts will perform this.
Isaiah 9:6, 7
And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought
me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's
business?
Luke 2:49
Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you,
Before Abraham was, I am.

I John 4:9
The New Testament writers support it
And in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from
God unto a city of Galilee, named Nazareth, To a virgin
espoused to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house
of David; and the virgin's name was Mary. And the angel
came in unto her, and said, Hail, thou that art highly
favoured, the Lord is with thee: blessed art thou among
women. And when she saw him, she was troubled at his
saying, and cast in her mind what manner of salutation
this should be. And the angel said unto her, Fear not,
Mary: for
thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt
conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt
call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called
the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto
him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign
over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there
shall be no end. Then said Mary unto the angel, How
shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the angel
answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall
come upon thee, and the
power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also
that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called
the Son of God.
Luke 1:26-35
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us,
(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only
begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
John 1:14
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not
perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son
into the world to condemn the world; but that the world
through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is
not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned
already, because he hath not believed in the name of the
only begotten Son of God.
John 3:16-18
Concerning his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, which
was made of the seed of David according to the flesh;
And declared to be the Son of God with power,
according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection
from the dead:
Romans 1:3, 4
But when the fulness of the time was come, God
sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under
the law, To redeem them that were under the law,
that we might receive the adoption of sons.

Matthew 1:19-21
And Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill
country with haste, into a city of Juda; And entered into
the house of Zacharias, and saluted Elisabeth. And it came
to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary,
the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled
with the Holy Ghost: And she spake out with a loud
voice, and said, Blessed art thou among women, and
blessed is the fruit of thy womb. And whence is this to
me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For,
lo, as
soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears,
the babe leaped in my womb for joy. And blessed is she
that believed: for there shall be a performance of those

Establishes respect for the Scriptures
Reveals the surety of the supernatural
And, behold, there was a man in Jerusalem, whose name
was Simeon; and the same man was just and devout,
waiting for the consolation of Israel: and the Holy Ghost
was upon him. And it was revealed unto him by the Holy
Ghost, that he should not see death, before he had seen
the Lord's Christ. And he came by the Spirit into the
temple: and when the parents brought in the child Jesus,
to do for him after the custom of the law, Then took he
him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, Lord,
now lettest thou thy
servant depart in peace, according to thy word: For mine
eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared
before the face of all people; A light to lighten the
Gentiles, and the glory of thy people Israel. And Joseph
and his mother marvelled at those things which were
spoken of him. And Simeon blessed them, and said unto
Mary his mother, Behold, this child is set for the fall and
rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign which shall
be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through
thy own soul also,)
that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed. And
there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of
Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and
had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;
And she was a widow of about fourscore and four years,
which departed not from the temple, but served God with
fastings and prayers night and day. And she coming in
that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord, and spake
of him to all them that looked for redemption in
Jerusalem.
