Christmas Is The Best Gift Of All!

Christmas Emphasizes Him, Not Us!

Christmas Is Family Centric
John 1:11-13 He came unto His own, and His own received Him not. But as many as received Him, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name: Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
Christmas Is God’s Glory, Grace And Truth
John 1:14 …the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.
