We can follow the idea of the seed down through the ages, but Paul summarizes it when we get to the book of Galatians.
Galatians 3:16 (KJV) Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ.Jesus was the promise that was given to Eve. Each generation would assign one person to carry the promise. If you look at the genealogies of Matthew and Luke, you see a list of how this was passed down until it came to Jesus.
Christmas was the fulfillment of a millennium old promise given by God in the garden of Eden. It wasn’t a later addition. It wasn’t an adaptation. It wasn’t an afterthought. When sin entered the world God provided the promise for a cure. Christmas is that promise. Jesus is that cure.
Rejoice and merry Christmas
