What is the greatest miracle that happened during
Jesus’ earthly ministry? Some will say it
was when He walked on water while others will say that it was when He raised
someone from death. Some will mention
the feeding of the 5,000, and many will say it’s His resurrection from the dead. But I believe the greatest miracle happened
before Jesus’ birth.
I believe the most important miracle during Jesus’
earthly ministry, is the miracle that should be on all believers’ minds this
time of year—it’s the miracle that made all other miracles Jesus performed
during His earthly ministry possible. I
believe the greatest miracle is the miraculous conception of the Lord Jesus—the
miracle of the incarnation—the miracle of God becoming a man yet remaining
God.
Think about that miracle for a moment. Do you realize the importance of it? Do you realize that without it, we don’t have anything else? If God the Son did not take on flesh and
dwell among us, then we as believers don’t have anything. We don’t have a representative, we don’t have
a substitute, we don’t have a mediator, we don’t have a redeemer, we don’t have
a gospel, therefore, we don’t have a hope in the world—if God the Son did not
become one of us.
