Jesus' Lineage and the Virgin Birth

A critical component to demonstrating Jesus is the promised Messiah is establishing his hereditory claim on the throne of David. Old Testament prophesy was clear that Messiah would come from the tribe of Judah and the line of David. Jesus's family tree demonstrates his qualification in this regard. 

And, one of the most outrageous claims of the Christian faith is that our savior was born of a virgin. Amazingly, this too was prophesied in the Old Testament, and the amazing circumstances of Jesus birth not only fulfill that prophesy, but also give us a clear picture of the unique nature of Christ: he is fully man and fully God.
