Many think Jesus was actually born in the year 6 B.C. because Cyrenius ordered a census in 7-6 B.C. (Luke 2:1-2). And King Herod, who ordered children under age 2 to be killed, died in 4 B.C.
Jesus birth was absolutely unique.
- His Father was God (John 3:16).
- His mother was a virgin (Matt. 1:23).
- He was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35).
- He came from heaven (John 6:28).
- Angels announced His birth (Luke 2:9-10).
- He received worship (Matt. 2:11).
- He hid His glory (Phil. 2:5-8).
- He inherited no sin (2 Cor. 5:21).
- He was born to be the Savior of mankind (Matt 1:21).
