After Jesus was born in Bethlehem Micah 5:2



The Bread of life is born in the place of bread John 6:35




Fulfilled Prophecy

As I mentioned earlier, the Bible is the only religious document in existence that presents an enormous number of prophecies that validate its historical claims. Of the over two thousand prophecies in the Bible, several hundred of them apply specifically to events in the life of Jesus Christ, such as His place of birth, tribe and lineage, ministry, betrayal by Judas, suffering, crucifixion, and resurrection. These prophecies touch all areas of Jesus’ life, and they were uttered centuries before His birth.
All attempts to debunk these fulfilled Old Testament prophecies have failed. Even when critics have rejected the traditional 450 B.C. date for the completion of the Old Testament, they have never been able to get around the fact that the Greek Septuagint, a translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, was completed around 250 B.C. proving that the prophecies about Jesus could not have been written after the events they foretell.

Followed the signs in the heavens


Had studied the Scriptures themselves


Were willing to make the long trip


Brought gifts that would fund the Lord's financial needs for a time

Pay for a flight to Egypt for example.....

After watching current events


After interacting with less than honest political rulers


Worshiping Jesus


Hearing from an angel


Their pathway was altered
