During the holiday season, it is easy to get overwhelmed or stressed about finances, buying gifts, having relatives in town, or figuring out how you're going to get everything in your busy schedule accomplished. However, It is important to remember the true meaning of Christmas; that our sinful souls were Saved by God's only son; that our Savior was born on this day to rescue us.

It is a time to remember the blessings God has given to us, and the love He shown, us. It is a time to take a break from the regular routines of our daily lives, and remember and worship Him. What better way to do that than through scripture?

Here are 13 Bible verses that remind us of the true meaning of Christmas:

1. Isaiah 9:6For to us a child is born, to usa son is given; and the government shall beuponhis shoulder, and his name shall be called WonderfulCounselor,Mighty God,EverlastingFather, Prince ofPeace.

4. Matthew 1:21She will bear a son, andyou shall call his name Jesus,for he will save his people from their sins.

5. Romans 6:23For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior.

Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.
