 The Life of Jesus - His Birth

 

1.  His name in the Hebrew language was Johoshua meaning, whose help is Jehovah; help of  Jehovah, or Savior. Jesus is the Greek form of the name Joshua, or Jeshua, a contraction of Johoshua which as stated above is, help of Jehovah, or Savior.

 

2.  Christ is the Greek word for Messiah, Annointed, i.e., The Messiah or Anointed One.

 

3.  Jesus was born of a Virgin.

 

4.  A Virgin has never had a sexual encounter with a man.  A young woman on the other hand  is not necessarily a virgin.

 

5.  If Jesus was not born of a virgin as was prophesied in Isaiah 7:14, He does not qualify as the Messiah, but would be just another mortal man.

 

6.  The Holy Ghost came upon her and in a creative sense at which time she conceived in her womb, and was thus impregnated with the Son of God

9.  Bethlehem in the Hebrew language means House of Bread, which is fitting insomuch that Jesus Christ is the Bread of Life.

12.  Jesus was living in Egypt for two reasons:

      

       (1) To escape Herods plan to kill Him, and

      (2) that prophecy might be fulfilled.  (Matt 2:15)

 

13.  Jesus had four brothers which are named in scripture, we are not told how many sisters He had.
