Matthew 1:20–21 shows an important moment in the story of salvation. Joseph is told by God that Mary’s baby is from the Holy Spirit, not from a man. This means Jesus was born in a special way, making Him different from everyone else. Because Jesus wasn’t born like other people, He didn’t have the sin that everyone else has. This made Him the only one who could take the punishment for our sins.
People have argued about whether Jesus was real or truly God, but these questions show how important His life and message are. Christianity isn’t just about stories or good advice it’s about the bold belief that God came to earth to save us. The challenge is to live out that faith, learning from the Bible, using our gifts to help others, and spending time with other believers. In a world that can be confusing and sad, getting to know Jesus brings meaning, direction, and lasting happiness.
