His birth truly is Good News of GREAT JOY!
Lesson Overview
Jesus has been with God from the VERY beginning! Jesus was with God and then was born as a baby! One of many things that sets Jesus apart!
Jesus came to earth as a baby so that one day He could pay for our sins on the cross!
Being fully God, Jesus was completely perfect. Being born a baby just like each of us, He was also fully human.
Jesus was the ONLY one who could pay the price for our sin.
