A Bible-focused narrative explains how, after long preparation, God sends the promised Messiah-King into the world and reveals His identity through Gabriel’s message to Mary. The text recounts Mary’s encounter, the announcement of Jesus’s birth, and answers what “Son of God” means, clarifying it as origin from God rather than a literal human parenthood. It also connects Jesus to the earlier promise after Adam’s fall, emphasizing that the Savior’s work will ultimately defeat the serpent.

Meaning of “Son of God”

The Word Made Human

The Promise After Adam

English 1 It was time. After thousands of years of preparation, God was about to send the promised SaviorMessiah-King into the world. But who would He be? And how would He come? 2 Mary's Story In the time of Herod king of Judea … God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. 3 The angel said to her,“Do not be afraid, Mary. You have found favour with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign … his kingdom will never end.” 4 “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel,“since I am a virgin?” The angel answered,“The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God.” 5 Why did Gabriel call Jesus “the Son of God”? Some people think this term means that God took a wife and fathered a son. That is not what it means. If you are from the continent of Africa, some may call you a “son of Africa.” Does this mean Africa got married and had a child? No! It means you come from Africa. 6 The Messiah is called the Son of God because He came from God. He came into Adam’s sin-ruined family but did not originate from it. He is the very Word, Soul, and Son of God. In the beginning the Word already existed. He was with God, and he was God. He was in the beginning with God. He created everything there is. Nothing exists that he didn’t make 7 So the Word became human and lived here on earth among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness. And we have seen his glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father (John 1:1- 3,14 NLT). 8 Do you remember the promise God made on the day Adam ate the forbidden fruit? God had announced that the Offspring of a woman would crush the Serpent’s head. 9 That promised Offspring was now in the womb of a virgin girl. How He would crush the Serpent’s head remained tobe seen.
