Jesus is described at a very special baby. It is obvious to those who see him that he is holy. The movie, scriptures, and song all claim that he is the son of God, and the Holy Spirit in human form. In the Christmas carol “Silent Night” one verse talks of baby Jesus and describes him as “Holy Infant so tender and mild.” The verse describes what Jesus looked like right after his birth and how the Holy Spirit looked so tender and mild even though he is so powerful. In the story, what was necessary from Mary was the motherly care, from Joseph what was necessary was the protection of a father, the shepherds were the first worshippers who truly believed in Jesus, and the three wise Persians were the first to give something for their worship.
Why did God come to Earth as a baby? I believe it was because he wanted to come humbly, just as a baby, not through some awesome flash of light and fire and he descends from the heavens in whirlwind of good and angels flying around him. Also, him coming to Earth as a baby helps him understand his worshippers better and understand what suffering they go through. It lets him understand the sins that we face as humans. An understanding God would come as a baby so that he could understand his worshippers better so that he can be a more understanding God of what we go through.
