The most important thing about this time of year is celebrating one of the most precious gifts from God. This gift did not come wrapped and stuffed under a tree. No, it came in a manger and it’s not a thing, but a what and a who.

Over 2,000 years ago, God blessed us with a Savior, the one and only Messiah. Here are 10 Christmas Bible verses that speak of His glory and goodness and coming.
