Conceived in the Womb

Luke 2:21 KJV
And when eight days were accomplished for the circumcising of the child, his name was called JESUS, which was so named of the angel before he was conceived in the womb.

Jesus was given His name before He was conceived in the womb. But we know that His life did not begin when He was conceived in the womb.

The word conceived means
To grasp
To seize
To arrest
To capture


In the case of the Lord Jesus Christ, His conception was a literal capturing of the womb of Mary. He seized it and made it His for the purpose of His becoming man.

In no other instance can it be said that the life that comes into the womb existed before conception. In Christ's instance that is the case.
