Churches provide several Scripture readings for Christmas, depending on the time of day and the number of services offered. Of course, all the Scripture readings are full of truth and meaning, but personally, I prefer Luke 2 for Christmas Eve and John 1 for Christmas Day. Luke 2 focuses on the humble events associated with the Messiah's Birth. John 1 focuses on the theological meaning of the Word becoming flesh.
We can all benefit from thinking and praying about both perspectives on the Nativity. Both accounts proclaim the good news of Christ our Savior. The Child in the lowly manger is the divine Word made flesh for our salvation. Jesus came to save us, and He keeps coming into our lives. Glory be to God on high!
