Where was Jesus born?
Jesus was born in Bethlehem as God promised.
 
The birth of Jesus was good news! Jesus was not an ordinary baby. He was God's one and only Son, sent to earth from heaven. Jesus came into the world to save people from their sins and to be their King.

What part did Mary and Joseph have in God's plan?
God chose Mary and Joseph to be the earthly parents of Jesus, His one and only Son.
 
"Therefore, the Lord Himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive, have a son, and name him Immanuel" (Isaiah 7:14). 
 
Baby Jesus was going to be born! How exciting! Angels visited both Mary and Joseph and shared the good news of Jesus’ coming birth. Mary and Joseph believed the angels’ words and did what God wanted.The baby Jesus fulfilled Isaiah's prophecy, as well as other prophecies of the coming Savior throughout the Old Testament (Hebrew Scriptures). Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus fulfilled God's plan of redemption that God planned from the beginning of the world.

Prophets Told About Jesus' Birth

How did people know Jesus was coming?
God's prophets told people about Jesus 
long before He was born.

God had a great plan to rescue people from sin. God's plan was not a secret plan. The prophets told people about God's plan. They said God would send a Messiah, Jesus! Jesus would be born into the world as a baby. Jesus would live a perfect life and die on the cross to rescue people from sin.

Why did God send Joseph to Egypt?

God sent Joseph to Egypt to save his family.

 

Joseph recognized that though his brothers intended evil when they sold him into slavery, God planned his circumstances for good--to establish a remnant of God's people (Genesis 45:7). Likewise, although those who crucified Jesus intended it for evil, God's plan for the sacrifice of His Son was for the good of all people (John 3:16). Through Jesus' death on the cross, God again saved a remnant of people.

Who is always with us?
God is always with us.
 
God sent Joseph to Egypt as a slave and blessed him, so that he rose to a position of great power. In that position, he was God's instrument for saving his family and many others in the world from death by starvation. Jesus, on the other hand, gave up His position of great power to be God's instrument for saving people. Christ's life and death made a way to save people from spiritual death, which is the penalty of sin.
