Feb. 24 Devotion: Because of a Birth

Because of a Birth

Matthew 2:1

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

In Matthew 2 the greatest person known to man was born to his mother Mary. His birth was like no other birth. He was born of a virgin. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit. His Father was God making him of a sinless blood line. His birth caused him to live 100% pleasing to God. His birth would allow him the ability to pay the sin debt for every person who ever lived. In John 3 Jesus was talking to a religious man about how to see the kingdom of God. He didn't instruct him to stop doing everything he was doing even though that would be a good thing. Jesus said you must be born again. Heaven is not a place for good people. The Bible says that there are none good. Heaven is a place of people that realized that they needed a relationship with God by birth.

God bless
