What does Scripture say about the way Jesus was born?

Jesus was born in Bethlehem as foretold in Micah 5:2, which underscores both His humble beginnings and the fulfillment of divine prophecy. His birth in a manger signifies the humility of the incarnation. It serves as an example for Christians of the lesser importance of worldly status. The sovereignty of God is displayed in this event as He orchestrated historical details, such as the census decreed by Caesar Augustus, to ensure that His Son was born in the prophesied location, showing that the Lord governs all things for His purposes.
