Chapter 4
We are not concerned here with the virgin birth of Jesus, for it is not used in the New Testament to demonstrate his Messiahship or deity, as is the resurrection. The case for the virgin birth is well argued in The Virgin Birth by John Gresham Machen, Lutterworth Press, 1958.
Following Henry Latham, The Risen Master, Leighton Bell, 1904.
This is clear from John’s account of the burial clothes of Lazarus. For when Jesus resuscitated him, ‘The dead man came out, his hands and feet wrapped with strips of linen, and a cloth around his face’ (11:44).
For our heavenly Father’s care, see Matthew 6:7–13, 25–34 and 7:7–12, and for his discipline, Hebrews 12:3–11 (TNIV).
