Mary, the mother of Jesus, had some questions, but Faith of a great portion. Her faith changed history for all eternity; it made possible the redemption of all humanity that would place their Faith in the Son of God. Jesus two in one, God, and Man.
Then said Mary unto the Angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man? And the Angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow you: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of you shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:34-35 (KJV) These Scriptures tell us the way it would happen, but when? And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of The Lord; (be it unto me according to your word.) And the Angel departed from her. Luke 1:38 (KJV)
The Holy Spirit ministered through the Angel, and when Mary placed her Faith in that spoken word, and said be it unto me, the conception of Jesus happened. Mary still had to make the choice, and when she did God was Faithful. The stage is set for the Redemption of mankind.
We don't hear about Jesus' childhood, other than when He was traveling with His parents for His protection. When Jesus was twelve, they had gone to Jerusalem for Passover. Jesus stayed behind, and when they found Him he was in the temple about His Fathers business. After that time the word say, "And He went down with them, and came to Nazareth, and was subject unto them: but His mother kept all these sayings in her heart." For eighteen years we don't hear about Jesus.
At the age of 30 Jesus began His earthly ministry. In three and a half years after His ministry started, He did what He came to do for mankind, and went to The Cross, as our Sacrifice to shed His Atoning blood.
I was reading the genealogy of Christ according to Luke, and it went from Joseph (as was supposed or adopted father) back to Adam, and at Adam it concluded, which was the Son of God. Adam the created Son, Jesus the only begotten Son.
The difference. Jesus came into this world the same as you and I, but He was sinless, and could pay the price required of The Lord God, one introduced sin, the other perfection, because He (Jesus) was perfect, we do not have to go from dust to dust. We will die if The Lord tarries, but still we go from condemned to the Redeemed of The Lord, when we believe that what He did on the Cross is sufficient for the lost condition Adam left us in.
The Lord created paradise for us in the beginning. It was the condition He wanted us to live in and when all is said and done, Paradise is where we will spend eternity.
This is Easter week, and His resurrection is our great hope, we celebrate this great hope with those who believe likewise.
