Does it really matter if Jesus had a miraculous birth ? Is it so important that it should be included in the list of most important Christian doctrines found in the creeds ? What is packed in this phrase "Conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary" ? It turns out... a whole lot! We turn to the Annunciation in Luke Chapter 1 where we find the courageous words of Mary. It turns out this event not only helps us understand the incarnation, it helps us deal with situations in our own lives that seem completely impossible. Most importantly, we come to understand why some theologians refer to Jesus as "The God-Man"
