JESUS’ BIRTH

“Did you know that Jesus was born before He was born?”

This question was posed to me by a seven year old boy in Sunday School recently. It’s a tenet of the Christian faith, and I was shocked to hear it from a child!

In case you weren’t aware of this, the evidence is in Genesis 1:26.

“Then God said, “Let US make mankind in OUR image, in OUR likeness, so that they may rule over the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky . . .”

And in John 1:1 — “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.”

“Word” refers to Jesus throughout the scriptures. Jesus has always been with God.

This concept can get “deep,” but the truth for us to know is that the seven year old boy was correct.

“Before Jesus was born, He was born!”
