Luke 1:35 Meaning
This verse is very beautiful, as it reveals how God’s Word would enter the world in the flesh. It marks the beginning of the greatest story ever told. A divine gateway through which the Creator of the universe entered His creation to redeem them from sin. It is the start of God’s greatest tithe and gift to humanity.
In Luke 1:35, we witness the miraculous conception of Jesus Christ. After Adam and Eve’s sin, every human born on earth was born into sin.
For a Redeemer to be born, He had to be sinless, and this meant He could not be conceived through the union of man and woman.
Thus, the Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary, enabling her to conceive and bear the Holy Child, free from the stain of sin. Through this divine act, God fulfilled His promise to bring salvation to the world.
