Born of the virgin Mary

I can't believe I'm saying this because it appears like a contradiction. It makes perfect sense that Jesus is born of a virgin. Even though this statement is a major hurdle for persons to get over, it does make sense from the point of view of faith. From faith it becomes the most logical. Jesus can't be God if he is created from the created.

All of the above is well and nice for theology class. What struck me however is that for a quick instant was how Jesus entry into the world is a bit like Genesis. Jesus entry into the world happens. It seems like an obscure time and obscure place. He comes in the dark. There is no fanfare and in fact there is quite the opposite. Like Genesis there is a fixed moment of birth which happened but there are very few to witness it. God it seems like to create in the dark. He does and things change.
