Christmas is not about ______________________________________. Christmas is about ________________ coming into ______________.

What you need to know: The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. John 1:9 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5 He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him. John 1:10

What you need to do: Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. John 1:12

“Gloria”
