Christ says, „I have come down from heaven,” and at the same time, He is born like any other child.

Interesting… isn’t it?

Let’s read the verses and consider whether there is a contradiction in these words.

Is it possible to be born and descend from heaven? Perhaps this account from Scripture will surprise you, because religions usually talk about the birth of Christ. But here we also have information about His descent.

Let’s move on to the verses.

1) Descent from heaven – a mission from the Father.

“For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.” – John 6:38.

Christ speaks of consciously descending from heaven and being sent by the Father to fulfill the task of proclaiming the Good News.

2) I came forth from the Father and have come into the world.

“I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.” – John 16:28.

There is an order here: from the Father → into the world → to the Father. Birth is the moment of entering human form, but before that, we have the information: „I came from the Father.”

3) The Word became flesh.

„In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made. In Him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him. He came to His own, but His own did not receive Him. Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believed in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.”

Who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth. The only begotten God, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him” – John 1:1-5, 10-14, 18.

The Word is Christ, the Word was in the beginning, through Him all things were made.

4) Glory before the existence of the world

“And now, Father, glorify Me in Your presence with the glory I had with You before the world began.” – John 17:5.

This is another verse that says Christ existed before the world was created.

5) Christ existed before Abraham.

„Before Abraham was, I am” – John 8:58.

The Son was created by the Father before the creation of the world, which means also before Abraham.

6) Sent into the world

„The Father consecrated and sent into the world the one about whom you say, 'You are blaspheming'” – John 10:36.

Being sent means that Christ was with the Father before being sent.

7) The character of the servant

“Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to His own advantage; rather, He made Himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant” – Philippians 2:6-7.

First, “being in very nature God,” then “taking the very nature of a servant.” This is a description of humiliation and the assumption of humanity.

8) The same yesterday, today and forever.

“Yeshu Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” – Hebrews 13:8.

Yeshu’s identity is unchanging. He existed before the creation of the world, He possessed the glory of God, which He received from the Father, meaning He was God. Then He humbled Himself and took on the role of a man, only to return to God’s glory as God, King, and Ruler. He is the second most important figure after God the Father.

9) Beginning and end

“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End” – Revelation 22:13.

Christ is the beginning of creation. He is the first, through Him everything was created. And the current period of human rule ends with Him. Christ is the rightful ruler of Heaven and earth. He will be the last King of creation.

The birth of Christ

1) The prophecy of the virgin birth.

“Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, and shall call His name Immanuel” – Isaiah 7:14.

The prophecy speaks not only of an extraordinary birth, but also of a name: Immanuel – “God with us.” This is a promise that God will enter into human reality without losing His identity.

2) Originating from the days of eternity

“But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel, whose origins are from of old, from ancient times.” – Micah 5:1.

Christ is born in a specific place and time, but His origin reaches back to eternity. Here we have a combination of birth in the flesh with existence before the creation of the world.

3) Conception by the Holy Spirit

“Now the birth of Yeshu Christ was as follows: Before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.” – Matthew 1:18.

The conception by the Holy Spirit emphasizes that the birth of Yeshu Christ is not an ordinary beginning of a human life.

4) An important name

„She will give birth to a son, and you are to give Him the name Yeshu, because He will save His people from their sins” – Matthew 1:21.

The name Yeshu is neither symbolic nor accidental. It defines his mission: salvation, liberation, life.

5) The Nativity in Bethlehem

“And she gave birth to her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.” – Luke 2:7.

“Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; He is the Messiah, the Lord.” – Luke 2:11.

Let’s summarize the topic.

When Lord Yeshu says that He descended from heaven, and at the same time is born as a human being, He is not contradicting Himself — He is revealing the truth. Scripture shows one consistent story.

Christ existed before the creation of the world, He was with the Father, He participated in creation, in guiding the nation of Israel, and then He entered into human form, taking on a body and being born.

All this was to be close to man, to be one of us. He did not come to judge the world, but to bring life.

The descent from heaven and the birth in the flesh take place for one purpose: to bring the Good News of eternal life. Christ did not come only to teach. He came to tell mankind that death is not the end, that God’s plan for humanity is beautiful.

This message is profound, full of hope and joy. It shows Christ as the One who comes, reveals Himself, and leads to eternal life.

Christ — the same yesterday, today, and forever — brought light to the world – the Good News. And whoever accepts this light already touches the promise of eternal life.
