Christmas: A Reminder that Life Begins at Conception

The Son of God became an embryo. The Holy Spirit overshadowed Mary in such a way that she became pregnant, though still a virgin.

Now, I'm going to take a slight detour for just a moment because I want to mention something.

Let's affirm here this glorious truth that Christmas reminds us of. Life, human life, begins at conception.

In some ways, Christmas is not the celebration of the Incarnation.

In some ways. In some ways, Christmas is merely the celebration of the birth of Christ.

That's the birth and the Incarnation. You understand that the birth of Christ and the Incarnation are two distinct events.

I don't want to say separate in the sense that, of course, they go together. But conception and the

Incarnation, those are the same events, and the birth comes when? Nine months later. So I'm just saying we're reminded here that life begins at conception.

Is there a time, I'm going on a tangent so just give me some liberty, is there a time in the year that should cause us to hate abortion more than when we think about our

Lord's Incarnation? The life of the humanity of Jesus began in the virgin's womb at the moment of conception.

At that very moment, the humanity of Jesus has a true human body, a true human nature, a true human soul.

Abortion therefore is anti -gospel. It's anti -God.

It's anti -humanity. It's anti -Christmas. Is there a connection maybe you think in your mind when

Herod wants to slaughter the children, right? And abortion that we're fighting today?

Abortion has always surrounded Christmas. Why? Because life begins at conception.

Thank you for giving me that liberty. I'm just saying we don't hate abortion enough. We don't hate the abortion industry enough, and Christmas should remind us of the wickedness of this great vice and sin upon our society.
