My final verse for 2021 and for my "Prophesies Fulfilled By Jesus Christ" series takes a look at how Jesus fulfilled the prophecy that the Messiah would be born through the woman's seed and therefore through a virgin.
My Pastor has taught many times on the importance of the Virgin Birth and the significance of the reference to the "woman's seed." The Virgin Birth isn't just a sweet Christmas story, it's an integral part of the picture of God coming as Man to pay for the sins of the world.
Everyone born through the seed of man inherits Adam's sinful nature. This is why it was imperative for the Messiah to be born through a virgin and through the woman's seed. Jesus had to be sinless in order to be a pure and perfect Sacrifice who could pay for the sins of the world. If Jesus had come through the seed of man, inherited a sinful nature and had to pay for His own sins then He couldn't pay for the sins of others. His death on the Cross would have been for Himself and we would still be dead in our trespasses and sins.
It's such an incredible study and a beautiful truth for us to dwell on as we come to the end of 2021. I pray my "Prophecies" series has been a blessing to you this year even though it has barely touched the surface of the many prophecies our wonderful Saviour fulfilled! I hope it's given us food for thought and inspired hearts to delve further into this amazing subject found in God's Word.

“Behold a Great Redeemer would live upon the Earth;
A Saviour would be born to us through the Virgin Birth.
Mary was that virgin, the highly favoured one.
Through the Seed of woman, God sent forth His Son.”
