Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, 5 in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. 6 While they were there, the days

were completed for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she

wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room

for them in the inn. Luke 2:4-7

"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

"For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world

might be saved through Him. "He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does

not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of

the only begotten Son of God. John 3:16-18

John celebrates the SON

But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God,

even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man,

but of God. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt

among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father,

full of grace and truth. John 1:12-14

God sent us His SONBut when the fullness of time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under

the Law, 5 so that He might redeem those who were under the Law, that we might

receive the adoption as sons. 6 Because you are sons, God has sent forth the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" 7 Therefore you are no longer a slave, but a son; and if a son, then an heir through God.

Galatians 4:4-7

unto the fathers by the prophets, Hath in these last days spoken unto us

By his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also

he made the worlds;
