““And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bring forth a Son, and shall call His name JESUS.” (Luke 1:31 NKJV)

The humanity of Jesus is revealed by being conceived in Mary’s womb just as every human child is. But Mary realized the danger of being seen as an unmarried mother. She could be stoned to death and if not she could be forced into slavery or even into prostitution and her child would be an outsider even among His own people. Why would God ask her to take a risk like this? Because God wanted a good mom for His Son? Is it because of the name of the child she would bear would be Jesus?
