Here’s the big Christmas question! If young Mary was still a virgin, HOW did she get pregnant and give birth to Jesus Christ? I discovered logical reasons for how it occurred and I’m definitely in awe of her courage. Mary gives us one of the great examples of real faith in action. Let me quote from Chapter Four, in The Celestial Proposal:

It begins with an angelic being, which appeared and talked to Mary, an innocent, young Jewish woman. She must have been a brave person, for she encountered metaphysical things! The angel spoke to her:

“Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus.” (Luke 1:30–31)

            Remember, the name Jesus means “God saves with metaphysical power.” From birth, Jesus was named for his specific purpose in life. The angel also told Mary:

He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne...his kingdom will never end. (Luke 1:32–33)

            This was a fantastic prediction! In Mary’s human curiosity and practicality, some questions naturally came to mind:

“How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God... Nothing is impossible with God.” (Luke 1:34–35, 37)

The real marvel of this story is Mary’s courage and faith to believe what this strange, shining celestial being told her. She believed so much in this paranormal, mystical experience that she was willing to let some kind of sacred Spirit presence “come upon” and “overshadow” her. We are told, “what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 1:20). I can’t help but wonder just what kind of encounter and connection that was for her!

Mary also had to consider the consequences of getting pregnant, if this did really take place. She was already engaged to a young man named Joseph. How was she going to explain to him and convince him what had happened? She also ran a great risk of being cast out of her strict Jewish society. Unwed pregnant girls were sometimes stoned to death in her culture. But Mary’s faith and allegiance toward her very personal God was greater than all other qualms and concerns. Her belief system was not a social religion but an exciting, individual sort of spirituality! Ultimately she believed in the words of a celestial messenger.

“I am the Lord’s servant,” Mary answered. “May it be to me as you have said.” Then the angel left her. (Luke 1:38)

Until the twentieth century, when…

ARTIFICIAL INSEMINATION

and test-tube babies became a reality, the birth of Jesus from a virgin was an even harder concept to grasp. If Mary did not get pregnant by having intercourse with a human man, how did she become pregnant? If we accept the words from the Bible in a literal sense, she must have been somehow artificially inseminated by a celestial being from another world and a different dimension of existence.

Jesus Christ was not just filled with a godly spirit but was conceived by Spirit; he was actually fathered by a “Most High” otherworldly entity (Matthew 1:20). Having this living, all-powerful celestial God Source as a kind of genetic father is what made Jesus unique from all other human beings.

So yes! That’s why Jesus could do miracles; heal the sick, raise the dead, walk on water. He wasn’t just human, his Father was…in heaven. And when I think of Jesus having some combination of human and extraterrestrial genetics, it makes it so much more real to me! And more hopeful for the future! Merry Christmas, everyone!
