Indeed, the Almighty, in His infinite power, could create life in any manner He chose. When He formed Adam from the dust of the ground, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and Adam became a living being (Genesis 2:7). This act of creation was unique, showcasing God’s sovereignty over life and existence.

The birth of Jesus, however, was purposed differently. The Scriptures foretold that the Messiah would come from the lineage of David (2 Samuel 7:12-13), and through the prophets, it was declared that a virgin would conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). Thus, the birth of Jesus Christ through Mary, a virgin, was a fulfillment of these prophecies, demonstrating God’s faithfulness and the continuity of His redemptive plan throughout generations.

In choosing to have Jesus born of a woman, God also chose to fully identify with humanity, being made in human likeness and found in appearance as a man (Philippians 2:7-8). This act of humility and incarnation meant that Jesus experienced the breadth of human experience, enabling Him to be the perfect mediator between God and humanity (1 Timothy 2:5).

Therefore, while God certainly could have brought Jesus into the world in any manner, the method chosen was steeped in prophecy, purpose, and profound love, revealing the depth of God’s plan for redemption and His desire to draw close to His creation.
