“And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, good will toward men.”
The babe’s name was Jesus, who came as a Savior to all the world.
Jesus As a Child
GOD, who is in heaven, was full of pity for the unhappy people of earth. He loved them so much that he sent his Son to the earth in the form of a child, a baby in his mother’s arms. He came to earth to show us how to obey God—how to live so as to do good in this life and be happy both in this life and in the life to come.
He came as a child, so as to show children how to live. He came like other children, and grew up as other children do, only better and wiser.
When God sent his Son to the earth, he gave him into the care of two good people who lived in a small town called Nazareth.
