As we look forward to our celebration of Christ’s birth this Christmas Sunday, I wanted to share from God’s Word.
So here is the “first line” that comes to my mind for Christmas.
John 3:16
New American Standard Bible

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.
Merry Christmas, Bookish Friends!
