His humble arrival in Bethlehem, announced by angels and witnessed by shepherds, fulfilled centuries of prophecy and revealed God’s deep love for humanity.
Through His birth, life, death, and resurrection, Jesus offered the world hope, peace, and salvation. The story of His nativity continues to inspire joy, faith, and devotion among Christians around the world.

What Does The Bible Say About Jesus Birthday
The Bible does not tell us the exact day or month when Jesus was born. It does not say that it was on December 25 or any other date. What the Bible shows us is the story of how Jesus was born and why His birth is so important to the world. The most detailed accounts of His birth are found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke. These books tell us that Jesus was born in Bethlehem, during the time of King Herod, to Mary, a young woman who was a virgin. The angel Gabriel told Mary that she would give birth to a Son who would be called the Son of the Most High, and that His kingdom would never end.
When Jesus was born, it was not in a palace or a rich man’s house. He was born in a simple place, a manger, because there was no room in the inn. Shepherds were the first people to hear the good news. An angel appeared to them at night and told them that a Saviour, Christ the Lord, had been born. The shepherds went quickly to Bethlehem and found baby Jesus lying in a manger, just as the angel had said. They were filled with joy and began to praise God for what they had seen and heard.
The Bible also tells us that wise men, or Magi, came from the east after seeing a special star in the sky. They followed the star until it led them to Jesus. They brought gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh—each gift showing that Jesus was a King, a Priest, and the One who would suffer for our sins. Their visit shows that Jesus came not only for the Jewish people but for all nations.
Although the Bible does not command us to celebrate Jesus’ birthday, it tells us to remember why He came. Jesus was born to bring light into a dark world and to save people from their sins. His birth was the beginning of God’s plan of salvation for all mankind. So when Christians celebrate Christmas, they are really celebrating the love of God shown through the gift of His Son. The message of Jesus’ birth is not about the date, but about the miracle of God becoming man to give us eternal life. His birth reminds us that God keeps His promises and that peace and joy are found in knowing Jesus Christ.
