 And the government will rest on His shoulders;
 And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty    God, Eternal
Father, Prince of Peace."  Isaish 9:6

"And the angel said to her, 'Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found
favor with God.  And behold, you will conceive in your womb, and bear a
son, and you shall name Him Jesus.  He will be great, and will be called
the Son of the Most High...'" Luke 1:30-32a

"And the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you
good news of gread joy which shall be for all the people;  for today in the
city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the
Lord.'" 
Luke 2:10-11

then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in
the womb"
Luke 2:21

"For my eyes have seen Thy salvation, Which Thou hast prepared in the
presence of all peoples, A light of revelation to the Gentiles and the
glory of Thy people Israel.  And Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary His
mother, 'Behold, this Child is Appointed for the fall and rise of many...'"
 Luke 2:30-32 and 34a

"For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave
up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in,
clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost)
but have eternal (everlasting) life."  John 3:16 The Amplified Bible

for our celebrating.  He it is Who alone is worthy of all honor and glory.
