If you were asked to give a Christmas verse, what would it be? Luke 2, Matthew 1, what about Romans 6:23, or John 3:16? These last two verses are not normally thought of as Christmas verses, yet they both tell the whole story of Christmas in each verse. Romans 6:23 says that God gives a gift that we cannot buy or earn and John 3:16 tells us why Jesus came - to give His life for our sins. He came because He loves us!
