The Story of Christmas includes the foretelling of his coming to earth by prophetic Scriptures in the Old Testament; the biographical account of his birth as told by Matthew, Luke, and John; the promise of his return declared by Jesus in the Gospels and by John in Revelation; and the power of Christ in us as recorded in the Epistles of the New Testament.
