inclusive of both....
“The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”which means “God with us”).
The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.
Probably read Isaiah 9:6 to fortell of the birth before reading the story, and read Jude 1:25 at the end.
Explain how the great creator - God, became our Saviour- the Son of God, in order to die for our sins, because to die He had to take on humanity(maybe read 1 Tim. 3:16).
and discuss His inherited "genes" with her how He needed to pray because he was a man like us, seeing as how He was conceived thru His mother...yet also had the ability to control the wind and waves thru His "Father's side"- the Holy Spirit of God, which had caused his mother to be pregnant with Him..
If she asks if He was praying to himself, my answer is no, He was praying to God (how 'bout that, Seekerman  )
Just like I would say, "no, Jesus is not His own Father...", nor did Jesus answer His own prayers...
Tho Im guessing many of you might answer those yes... |
Mary did not believe or was she told that God would come inside her womb and come out a baby..It is true God caused a miracle to occur inside her womb that is [he created inside her womb] a human child like all mothers give birth to and this child was to be called {because of the miracle] the Son of God..the only child that could literally say "my father is God"..
He is the 2nd Adam for a reason...
Adam was created from the dust
Jesus was created from the womb
Adam was created with a sinless nature
Jesus was created with a sinless nature
Adam chose to be like God
Jesus chose to humble himself and not claim to be
Adam chose to sin
Jesus chose not to
Jesus was the human Son God always wanted in Adam
