What does the Bible say about baby jesus?

Bible Topic · WEB

The Bible teaches that Jesus Christ truly entered our world as a helpless infant, the promised Savior and eternal Son of God clothed in human flesh. Born of the virgin Mary in Bethlehem, He fulfilled God’s ancient promises through Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, and Micah 5:2. Luke 2:7 and Luke 2:16 emphasize His humble birth in a manger, while Matthew 2:1-11 records the wise men’s worship of the child King. John 1:14 declares the wonder at the heart of His birth: the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. Jesus’ lowly beginning reveals God’s grace, for the King came not in worldly splendor but to save His people from sin.
