Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders and he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
It all started when an angle appeared to Mary and told her that she would give birth to a son. The Holy Spirit would come upon her and the Power of the Most High over shadow her, and that he would be called the Son of God. Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph and gave birth to her firstborn Son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger. There were shepherds living out in the fields watching over there flocks at night. An angle of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified, but the angle said do not be afraid I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all people. For a Savior will be born to you, he is Christ the Lord. Then suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angle praising God saying Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to men on whom his favor rests.
Then the Shepherd went to Bethlehem to see this thing that has happened which the Lord has told them about. Then they found Mary and Joseph and the baby who was lying in a manger. When they saw him they spread the word concerning what had been told to them about this child. But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. Then the shepherds returned glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen. (Luke 1:29) (Luke2:4-20)
