Why We Celebrate Jesus’ First Nite On Earth

Every year at Christmas we celebrate Jesus' First Nite on earth. Jesus is the Son of God.  Jesus could have made a grand entrance on His first nite and come to earth on a bus or a chariot tied to a hot air balloon, but he didn't.  His parents probably walked or rode a donkey to Bethlehem.  He could have been born in the biggest fort or palace, but He wasn't.  He was born in a humble barn. At Christmas, we remember that Jesus gave up everything, to come to earth to die so that every one of us could live, and that’s a reason to dance!
