The Impossibles
In Matthew 1, the gospel writer speaks of four “impossibles” – events or truths of Jesus’ life that are only possible in God’s power.
Impossible 1: The Virgin Birth
Matthew 1:18 — This is how the birth of Jesus Christ came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be with child through the Holy Spirit.
HOW could this be? The virgin birth may be one of the most denied truths of Jesus’ life. Many doubt it, even some who claim to preach God’s Word. I pray you believe it—you must for your salvation.
Throughout the lineage, fathers are named—until Jesus. Matthew 1:16 points only to Mary. Joseph is her husband, not Jesus’ father.
Matthew makes it clear:
“What is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.”
To many, this sounds impossible—even offensive. Yet Matthew boldly writes it, despite the risk, because he knew the truth and trusted God completely.
Luke 1:37 reminds us:
“For nothing is impossible with God.”
Do you desire to follow Jesus? Then trust Him—even in what seems impossible.
Prayer: Thank you, Lord, for faithful witnesses who proclaim Your truth. Strengthen our faith to believe Your power in all things. Amen.
