When & Where Did the Miracle of Jesus’ First Coming Take Place
● Negative consideration. It did not occur in Bethlehem at the birth of Jesus. In fact to the contrary, for had there been a medical doctor present to assist in the birth of Jesus (but not knowing the background of the event) he would have encountered nothing unusual in the delivery process itself.
● Positive consideration. It did occur in Nazareth upon the announcement of Gabriel:
“And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God” (Luke 1:35).
Stated another way, the miracle of the incarnation was the supernatural conception of the body of Jesus within the womb of Mary without the aid of a human father!
