The true meaning of Christmas is the celebration of the birth of Jesus Christ.

 

 

While the Bible does not say that Jesus was born on Christmas Day, many people use this time to honor and remember His birth to the world.

​

​

Mary listened to God and obeyed Him after an angel appeared to her and told her she would give birth to Jesus, the Savior and King. Joseph and Mary traveled to Bethlehem looking for a place to stay.

 

An innkeeper allowed them to stay in a stable, where Jesus was born and laid in a manger.

​

​

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, and shepherds came to worship Him after His birth. Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God and that His coming into the world was a gift of love and hope for humanity.

​

​

Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace and goodwill toward men. Thank you, Lord, for sending Jesus, the greatest gift of all.

 

Christians believe His love and sacrifice bring hope, peace, and salvation to many people around the world.
