Dear Church,

One of the uniqueness’s of Jesus Christ!

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen His glory, glory as of the only on from the Father, full of grace and truth – John 1:14
 
The supernatural birth of Jesus Christ, born without the involvement of a male, is by and large viewed with a great deal of scepticism. His birth, however, can be very convincingly explained by a remarkable occurrence in genetic science called parthenogenesis.
 
The Greek root of parthenogenesis, meaning ‘Virgin creation’ is a common phenomenon in the animal kingdom, whereby reproduction takes place from an ovum without fertilization. Komodo dragons, monitor lizards, geckos, zebra sharks, pythons, honeybees, and many more species fall in this category. In some of the species, males do not exist at all. The only limitation that parthenogenesis entails is the inability of the female to reproduce a male offspring – with Jesus being the only exception in all of creation!
 
In john 1:1, Apostle John, the only gospel writer to do so, presents Jesus as being the same God of creation as the One in Gensis. Jesus existed long before He was born. He created the universe before He became a creature just for the sake of His flagship creation, man. He created the trees much before He came into the world to work on wood as a carpenter. He is the only one in human history who chose to be born, signifying that He knew who His parents would be before His incarnation. Conversely, in the annals of human reproduction, it is our parents who choose to bring us into the world.
 
While Jesus brought divinity into humanity on earth, He also took humanity to the divine Godhead in Heaven. Because of what, we have someone who understands us and intercedes with the Father on our behalf, who extends grace, sustains the universe, and is seated at the right hand of God. Without Jesus, both physical life (Colossians 1:7) and spiritual life (John 5:39-40) fade into nothingness.
 
God Bless,
Amutha
