It’s kind of difficult to explain, but super important. Hey guys it’s me again, Douglas. And I’m pretty sure that around Christmas time you’ve probably heard a lot that Jesus Christ was born to the virgin Mary. You know, it talks about it in the Bible and
It talks about that in Christmas songs and it’s kind of all over the place. But if you’ve ever wondered what that means, I want to try to explain it to you in a way that is easy for
Us kids to understand. Because when Jesus was born they call that the virgin birth. And that’s something that is a little bit easier to explain to adults, but it’s still something important for us kids to know. So I’m going to try to explain it in a way that we can understand and makes
Sense and is appropriate for kids. A long time ago there was a man and a woman named Joseph and Mary. And they were betrothed to be married. Now betrothed means, like, engaged. Nowadays, when people are engaged it means that they are planning on getting married. So you say so-and-so is engaged
To so-and-so and they’re going to get married. And betrothed, it’s the same thing but it’s like bigger and more important. Like, if you’re engaged, but you break up before you get married, that’s not,
Like, against the law. You know, it’s still super sad, but it’s not it’s not as big a deal — quite as big a deal — as being betrothed and and having to break that off. And before Mary and Joseph got married
Mary was visited by an angel. An angel told her that she was very special and that she was going to be pregnant and have a son, and that she should name him Jesus, and He would be called Son of the
Most High. And Mary said, “Well how is that going to happen ’cause I haven’t married Joseph yet.” Now, in order for a woman to be pregnant, in order for a mommy to have a baby, she needs a man. And
Mary was betrothed to Joseph. She promised that Joseph would be her man. But he wasn’t yet. She had no man. And without a man it’s impossible for her to have a baby. But the angel said that
The baby would be God’s son. God was going to make the impossible possible. And this was a big deal because in the Old Testament in the book of Isaiah, it said that the coming Messiah would be born to
A virgin — would be born to a woman without a man. But this was also super hard because, you know, Mary knew that this baby was going to be God’s son. But for everybody else, they probably just assumed that
Mary had broken her promise to Joseph to marry him and have Joseph be her man — her husband. They probably thought that she had gone off and gone with some other man and broken her
Promises. ‘Cause again, you need both a man and a woman to have a baby. Except for Jesus. This was the only ever virgin birth. And so everybody probably thought that she had broken her promises including Joseph who was planning on just sending her away quietly so that people wouldn’t hate her so much.
She might have even been in danger. ‘Cause again, it was a big deal to break your betrothal promises. But as he was thinking about how he was going to send her away quietly without, you know, causing
Too much of a fuss, an angel appeared to him too. And the angel told him, “Do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife. The baby growing inside her is God’s Son.” And so eventually Joseph and Mary
Became husband and wife, and Joseph helped to raise Jesus, but Jesus was always God’s Son. Jesus wasn’t Joseph’s son. Jesus is the Christ. He’s the Messiah. He’s the Son of God. And so when you hear someone
Talking about the virgin birth or the virgin Mary or something like that, I just want you to remember that God did a miracle when Jesus was born — a big one! A miracle that’s never ever been done before
Or since then. And it was all to prove that Jesus is the Christ. Jesus is the Messiah. Jesus is God’s Son. And that’s what we celebrate on Christmas! We’re celebrating that Jesus Christ was born
To the virgin Mary. And God sent Him to the world to save us from our sins, so that whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life. And that’s the best Christmas gift ever!
Hey guys,Ii hope you liked this video. And yeah, you know, the virgin birth is kind of a tricky subject, but it doesn’t have to be too hard. Basically it’s just that Mary became pregnant and she
Had no husband or any other man, and a woman needs a man to become pregnant. Except for the one instance of Jesus coming into the world and on Christmas. We celebrate that God sent his Son Jesus
To the earth. And He proved that Jesus was his Son through the virgin birth. Merry Christmas guys!
