The Virgin Birth
BY the Rev. GEORGE HENRY DOLE
Pastor of the New Church, Wilmington

I At the very beginning of Jesus
ministry, He IS declared 10 be Je-
hovah. Isa. 40. 3, says, Prepare ye
the way OF Jehovah" and John the
Baptist says. This is He that was
spoken OF by the prophet Esaias
| Greek for Isaiah), Pre-
pare ye the way OF the LORD" Matt
3.3.
We will briefly quote from each
/ Gospel and Revelation. Matthew
declares that Jesus was conceived
Of the Holy Spirit IN fulhlment OF
| Isa. TIA, and that His name should
be called Emmanuel, which being in
terpreted is. God with us. (Matt.
1. VS.. 1920
Mark begins his Gospel with the
declaration, 1.-THE beginning OF the
Gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of
God" He also says that Jesus was
the One of whom the prophets said.
prepare We the way" whom the
prophets called Jehovah.
Luke calls the child 1.-THE Son of
the Highest" q, s2), and says He
shall be called the Son OF God"
(v35.)
John proclaims that the Christ
was He who created all things
q. vs 1-1s.) "And I saw and bear
record that this is the Son of God"
(v.84.)
In Revelation It is written. These
things saith the Son Of God" Grew.
2.1s.)
That the Jews understood the
teaching of Scripture to mean that
the Messiah would be none other
than God, is evident from their ac-
cusing Him Of blasphemy, because
He called Himself the Son of God;
and when asked why they would
stone Him. they replied, not for a
good work, but because that thou.
being a man, makest thyself God"
CJohn 1O,S3-S6.)
Surely there Is error in saying
that the Lord did not claim Deity
for Himself. In many forms He de-
clares II. He claims to be the giver
of life. the Resurrection and the life.
and openly states, 'T and the Father
are one" HE that hath seen Me
hath seen the Father" and Paul
says, I'm Jesus Christ dwelleth all
the fullness OF the Godhead Bodily"
