This is no ordinary birth. This historical document based on eyewitness accounts and confirmed by other independent eyewitness account teaches that Jesus conception came about by the supernatural power of God Himself. Jesus birth was a virgin birth. Second Jesus birth was explained by an angel of the Lord . We don t understand everything about angels, but the Bible does teach that angels are supernatural messengers from God Himself.
Angels are always at work.
But the only times that we become aware of angels is when God is doing a special supernatural work. And this is the case in the birth of Jesus. Now notice exactly what Matthew says in v.20 an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream. So it is true that this was a dream. But it was not any ordinary dream.
