Twas the Night Before Jesus was Born is a story of the birth of Christ inspired by the timeless classic, Twas the Night Before Christmas (Moore). Much like today, during the time of Jesuss birth, the world was in chaos. People were immoral and doing their own thing, but Gods children prayed and anxiously awaited the birth of their promised King. Year after year, believers waited in anticipation for the miracle birth but so did the evil King Herod. Although the evil King Herod plotted to kill all newborn males in hopes of killing the promised king, his efforts were futile. God, in his infinite wisdom, had already plotted an escape route for Joseph, Mary, and the baby. Jesus miraculously survived the killing field of King Herod, and he grew from a child to a man. He transformed the lives of ordinary people and made them do extraordinary things. Many recognized him as being the Son of God by the signs, wonders, and miracles he performed and they followed him. He gave sight to those who were blind, baptized those who believed in him, healed those who were sick, preached to those who needed to hear the truth, forgave those who needed to be forgiven, and delivered those who were bound by the chains of sin. Before Jesus was taken up into heaven, he gave all of those who followed him the power to transform lives, heal the sick, preach the truth and free those who are bound by sin. He told them they would do greater works than he didif only they would be willing to work.

The world tells children Christmas is about presents. But God tells a different story. 'Twas the Night Before Jesus brings that story to life.

Rhyme to the meter of "Night before Christmas."

I wrote this as a poem for a poetry book. Before even being published, a pastor friend who read it wanted me to recite it as part of their church Christmas program. In doing so, one of the leaders of that church wanted a copy to read on Christmas Eve to his grandchildren. This year, another church asked if they could build their upcoming Christmas program around this poem. It has been so well received by all who read it, I thought it would be a perfect book for the young and old, and one you may consider reading to your children, or grandchildren each Christmas eve. The Christmas story is also told in one other place in the Bible, and the scripture for that is below. Matthew 1:18-2:12 In reading Chapter two, you will realize that the ‘Three Kings’ came a few years later, and at that time, Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were living in a house.

A very well written and vividly illustrated Christmas book that walks you through the events that took place the night before Jesus' birth. The story begins with an angel's visit to Mary to let her know she was the chosen one to give birth to Jesus. Mary and her husband traveled to Bethlehem following the star that would lead them to the manger where Jesus was born. Shepherds and three Wise Men also hear about the birth of Jesus and they too follow the star that led them to the manger. This book has a surprising fun twist because it mimics the classic Christmas tale. Its familiar whimsical phrases will be enjoyable for children and adults alike as they discover the true story of Christmas.

The Real Meaning of Christmas By: Reginald (Regg) Keyawa In 1822, Clement Clarke Moore, an Episcopal minister, wrote a long Christmas poem entitled An Account of a Visit from St. Nicholas, more popularly known as ’Twas the Night before Christmas. Good, bad, or otherwise, Christmas has become more about Santa Claus and less about its true meaning, the Birth of Our Lord Jesus Christ. The Real Meaning of Christmas shows a man starting out as Santa Claus, worshipping the Christ Child, and leaving as St. Nicholas.
