And the angel said to them,

"Be not afraid;

for behold,

I bring you good news of great joy

   which will come

                  to all the people;

for to you

  is born this day in the city of David

  a Savior,

           who is Christ the Lord."

                         Luke 2. 10-11

For to us a child is born,

to us a son is given,

and the government 

           shall be upon His shoulder,

and His name shall be called

"Wonderful Counselor,

         Mighty God,

Everlasting Father,

       Prince of Peace."

                         Isaiah 9. 6

(This promise about the Messiah

         was written 800 years before Christ)

(And He shall reign for ever and ever.

Please make sure that your little ones know

that the Christmas story is not just a "story,"

       but about Jesus who came

       to change the world

and still does,

              one life at a time,

              precious in His sight).
