nMessiah will count Bethlehem as his hometown even though he has
existed for ages.
nThat he will be born is explicitly stated by Isaiah, but he is also
given the divine titles ÒMighty GodÓ and
ÒEverlasting Father.Ó
nThis is neatly explained by the New Testament picture of Jesus,
the eternal God who became human to pay for
the sins of those who trust him.
