Could it Have Been a Surrogate Birth?
A traditional surrogate is artificially inseminated with a man’s sperm. She carries the baby to term and delivers.
Although a traditional surrogate can be considered the biological mother of a child being that she (sort of) donated her eggs towards the formation of a baby, she may however have to hand over the baby postpartum to the parent (s) to raise.
A gestational surrogate on the other hand has no biological or genetic ties to a baby. What happens is; a mother’s eggs are harvested, as well as a father’s sperm, and through In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF), an embryo forms, and is then placed in the uterus of a gestational surrogate to harbour till delivery.
And I can understand their argument; Science is yet to transform a baby ape to a human!!! (Selah…)
But, Can Mary (mother of Jesus) easily fit into the description of a gestational surrogate? Has science somewhat shown the possibility of having a baby to parents without genetic ties? Make no mistake about it, Mary exhibited great faith believing to have a child without knowing a man! And she should be always remembered just like Abraham, and other great men of faith in the Bible. Imagine if Mary wasn’t a virgin; it would certainly be doubly difficult for many to accept the holy birth…Mary honoured God by keeping her virginity.
Just in case anyone is asking….’so Grace, whose eggs and whose sperm?’. The genetic composition of any human is determined at conception, at the point the eggs and sperm fuse into an embryo. The Bible records that “Mary was conceived by the Holy Ghost”! There was no mention of gametes…. It must mean then that if Jesus came out fully formed, then He must have been put into Mary fully formed!!
Something I learnt early in my Christian walk (Thanks to my Undershepherds, Pastor Charles Omofomah (who I believe is constantly smiling down on me, and Pastor Nkechi Ene); ‘Every human being is a spirit, lives in a body and has a soul’. My body is just a house for the real me….
Genesis tells us, that God created man from the dust of the earth, and then breathed into him, and man became a living being. Is it safe to say then that without God’s breath, man was/is just dust and not a living being? Does this explain what happens when someone dies? I mean you still see the body there, but its lost its functions completely.
I believe the Holy Spirit is God Himself!! And being that Mary was conceived by The Holy Spirit,…I can safely also say that Jesus Christ is God Himself! The book of Colossians (Bible) chapter 2 verse 9 says; “for in Him (Jesus) dwells all the Fullness of the Godhead bodily”. Little wonder Jesus said in the book of John: 14:9; “he who has seen Me has seen the Father”.
God put Himself in Mary and gave the world Himself as Jesus Christ!!
So yes, Jesus Christ is God’s son…
But see now friends…All of Christ was/is God!!!
Hang in there please…don’t stop reading yet….
John 1:12-13 says; “but to as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God….who were born, not of flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God”. The day I received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, I received All of God. I am a son of God, born by His Spirit and by His Word. God lives in me!!! Halleluyah.
I am more than Excited!!
I gave this piece to someone to read through as I put it together. And the person asked a brilliant question; ‘Couldn’t God have walked down to Earth from Heaven and still save man, why did He have to come through a human?’
I believe it was necessary to have Jesus born into the human form to correct the wrongs that occurred in the Garden of Eden….The whole human race became corrupted through the seed of Adam. But God created another lineage; the lineage of God through Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is the Firstborn.
Praise God in the highest!
