Micah 5:2-4
2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” 3 Therefore He shall give them up, until the time that she who is in labor has given birth; then the remnant of His brethren shall return to the children of Israel. 4 And He shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of the Lord, in the majesty of the name of the Lord His God; and they shall abide, for now He shall be great to the ends of the earth;

Jesus the Messiah, the Christ, has always existed from everlasting or forever. He was born as a man of a virgin as told here in order to show God was His Father, that He is God's word become a man to speak directly to us. Seeing Jesus, we see God. So He came to bring His people to Himself, first the Jew, then the world. He watches over and keeps us to forever, feeding us of Himself, in which we see a shadow in the taking of the bread and wine until He returns. This shows His majestic care for us. We abide in the One from eternity, who always is and was and ever shall be!
