The Greatest Gift

The story of Christ’s birth begins long before Matthew and Luke’s beloved accounts of shepherds, a stable, and a star that shined over Bethlehem. In the first chapter of John’s gospel, we learn that Jesus was with God and the Holy Spirit before the creation of the universe. Then, more than 2000 years ago, He came to Earth as a babe in a manger—fully God and fully man. The centerpiece of the Lord’s eternal plan to save all of humanity from the consequences of sin.
