Why Was The Lord Jesus Born Of A Virgin?
He was born as a virgin because He was man's new representative head. As man's new representative head, He, as a Man, must come into existence in a unique way.
Adam (as a representative head of man) came into existence in a unique way. He was formed not by the union of a sperm cell and an egg cell. In the same way, the Lord Jesus came into existence as a Man not by the union of Joseph's sperm cell and Mary's egg cell. Mary was simply a container or a vessel for His human body.
Why must He come from Mary's womb? Because He was to be Man's representative. Mary was part of the humanity who must be redeemed and brought to the headship of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Moreover, the Lord Jesus, as Man's new representative head, had to be sinless. The sinful nature is passed to a newly born human being from the union of a fallen man and a fallen woman. In order to prevent this, He, the Lord Jesus, must be born of a virgin.
