One important verse is Luke 2:10 - 11. 'But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord." This verse clearly announces the birth of Jesus which is the core of the Christmas story.
Matthew 2:1 - 2 is another relevant verse. 'After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.” This verse can introduce the idea that from far away, wise men knew of Jesus' birth and came to worship him. It can be a starting point to talk about how Jesus was special and recognized as a king from the very beginning.
Luke 2:7 - 'And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.' This simple yet powerful verse gives us a vivid picture of the humble birth of Jesus, which is a central part of the Christmas story.
In Luke 2:7, 'And she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.' This simple yet powerful verse describes the humble circumstances of Jesus' birth. It shows that Jesus was born into a normal, perhaps even difficult situation. His birth in a manger is a symbol of his humility and his coming to the common people. The Christmas story often focuses on this aspect of Jesus' birth, emphasizing that he came not as a powerful king in a grand palace, but as a baby in a simple manger, accessible to all.
One important verse is Luke 2:10 - 11 which says, 'But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.'
Luke 2:10 - 11 is great. 'But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.

Isaiah 9:6 is also a significant verse for the Christmas story. 'For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.' This verse was a prophecy about the coming Messiah, and when Jesus was born, it was seen as the fulfillment of this prophecy. Christmas is about the celebration of the birth of this very special child who is so much more than an ordinary human.
Some important verses include Luke 2:10 - 11 which tells about the angel announcing the good news of Jesus' birth to the shepherds. It says 'And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.'
Luke 2:11 is also key - 'For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.' This directly announces the birth of Jesus, which is the central event of the Christmas story. It's a simple yet powerful statement that has been central to Christian celebrations for centuries. The very fact that it specifies the place (city of David) and the significance of the child (Savior, Christ the Lord) gives a lot of meaning to the story.
