The Gospel is the God's story, and it is all about his plan for eternal life. It teaches us all about salvation, and how much he loves us.
The Gospel talks about God's son Jesus, and his birth and death, and resurrection. Jesus is the key to our salvation.
Christmas is so important because it is the day that we celebrate Jesus' birthday.
