The True Meaning of Christmas: A Time for Family, Friends ... The (KJV) of the Bible doesn't mention the word "Christmas," but it contains the core narratives celebrated at Christmas, primarily in Luke 2 (shepherds, manger, angels) and Matthew 1-2 (Mary, Joseph, Wise Men, prophecy of Immanuel), focusing on Jesus's birth as the fulfillment of prophecy, God's plan for salvation, and the good news for all people, emphasizing worship, praise, and God with us, rather than specific holiday traditions. Key Bible Passages Describing Jesus's Birth: Matthew 1:21: "And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins." Matthew 1:23: "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Luke 2:7: "And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn." Luke 2:10-11: "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Themes Highlighted by These Passages: Fulfillment of Prophecy: Jesus's birth fulfilled Old Testament predictions (like Isaiah's "Emmanuel"). Salvation: His birth signifies God's provision for saving humanity. God with Us (Immanuel): A central message is God's presence in human form. Worship & Praise: The angels' announcement and the shepherds' response emphasize praising God. Good News: The birth of Jesus is proclaimed as great joy for everyone. While the KJV doesn't detail Christmas traditions (like trees or Santa), it provides the foundational story of the Nativity, making it the source for Christian Christmas celebrations focused on the divine event of Jesus's arrival. And and no way shape or form does it state Jesus was born on December 25th God Loves You So Do I
