Silent night! Holy night! All is calm, all is bright; ’round yon virgin mother and child! Holy infant, so tender and mild, sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace.” The popular Christmas carol that is sung by millions in schools, community events, television specials and in churches speaks clearly to the true focus of Christmas – the miraculous virgin birth of Jesus.The birth became the method through which Jesus came from heaven to earth. It was how God became a man and humbly lived among us. Often Jesus referred to Himself as being sent by His Father in heaven.
