Tonight is Christmas Eve! All Advent long we have watched God make promises and keep them, one after another. Now the waiting is over!
On a dark night long ago, an angel told some shepherds, “Today in David's town a Savior has been born for you. He is Christ the Lord!” Then the whole sky filled with angels praising God.
Jesus is God's greatest gift. The Bible says God loved the world so much that He gave His only Son, so everyone who believes in Him can live with Him forever. That's the best present of all. Merry Christmas!
