Dearly Beloved,
Grace and Peace to you.
Biology is not suspect.
An ovum may have split
and made itself again,
miraculously producing
inexplicable chromosomes,
but this is not required
for a joyful, brave and gentle life.
The virtue of the virgin birth
is not that Mary didn't let her flesh
produce the way God made it to,
nor that the intercourse created good
was deemed less so,
unbecoming for holy people
or incompatible with compassion,
but this:
that God offered and Mary received
the life-giving life within her
directly, and through no one else.
There is no intermediary
between your immaculate heart
and the embodiment of God.
Say yes.
Deep Blessings,
Pastor Steve
