There are some things about the first Christmas that we absolutely know. We know that: -Jesus was God in the flesh. Our sins had separated us from God and we had no way of paying for them ourselves. All other religions are about people trying to work their way to God through good deeds, sacrifices, or religious activities. Instead of sitting in heaven waiting for us to climb our way to Him, He came down to us. One of His nicknames was Immanuel which means “God with us.”
