All that night Mary was restless so that neither of them [Mary nor her husband, Joseph] slept much. By the break of day the pangs of childbirth were well in evidence, and at noon, August 21, 7 B.C., with the help and kind ministrations of women fellow travelers, Mary was delivered of a male child. Jesus of Nazareth was born into the world, was wrapped in the clothes which Mary had brought along for such a possible contingency, and laid in a near-by manger.
Quote the The URANTIA Book, 1351:05-06
In just the same manner as all babies before that day and since have come into the world, the promised child was born; and on the eighth day, according to the Jewish practice, he was circumcised and formally named Joshua (Jesus).
Part IV of The URANTIA Book, “The Life and Teachings of Jesus,” extending from page 1323 to the last page 2097, “was sponsored by a commission of twelve Urantia midwayers acting under the supervision of a Melchizedek revelatory director. The basis of this narrative was supplied by a secondary midwayer who was onetime assigned to the superhuman watchcare of the Apostle Andrew” (1321:01-06). Both authoritative and intimate, Part IV of this revelation is from observers personally on the scene 2,000 years ago.
Gabriel had previously appeared to Mary informing her she would be the mother of a son who “shall inaugurate the kingdom of heaven on earth and among men” (1346:04). That the Creator Son of our universe, “the only-begotten and only-begettable” (0235:01) Son of two of the Deities of Paradise—the Universal Father and the Eternal Son—was born on our world as a helpless mortal is a miracle.
This incarnation on Urantia of our Creator Son was our fourth revelation. This incarnation—as a mortal, the lowest creature with the will “to be perfect even as the Father in heaven is perfect” (1573:02)—was to his creations the seventh and final bestowal of Michael of Nebadon, by which he has earned personal sovereignty of his universe. Now Michael is a Master Son, his era of creation is over; his task is to bring his creation to perfection.
At the time of his “first personal and wholehearted moral decision” (1357:05), Jesus received his Thought Adjuster, the same as we do. “This event occurred on February 11, 2 B.C.” (1357:05). His Adjuster had previously indwelled the mind of Machiventa Melchizedek. This Adjuster, the only ever to have indwelled two minds on our world, is now a Personalized Thought Adjuster able to act in his own personal right, the head of all Adjusters of this universe. Until his baptism “at noon on Monday, January 14, A.D. 26” (1504:04), Jesus was the Son of Man; afterwards, also the perfect Son of the Universal Father.
Before his baptism, acting alone, as the Son of Man,
Jesus ended the Lucifer rebellion.
Excepting a few confusions, Jesus was responsible for the miracles for which he is known. He did raise Lazarus from the dead. He died on the cross Friday, April 7, A.D. 30. How did his mortal body disappear? The chief of archangels took custody of his body to accelerate time for its dematerialization, in order that “the hosts of heaven would be spared the memory of enduring the sight of the slow decay of the human form of the Creator and Upholder of a universe” (2022:05).
On Sunday, April 9, A.D. 30, Jesus was resurrected in his morontia body, not his physical body, just as we will be. Special provision was made to allow mortals to see the resurrected Jesus.
There is no death, only life eternal—
the life of the Jesus shows us Who we are.
