The Birth of Jesus

December 19, 2021

Passage: Luke 2:1-20

Mary and Joseph were going to have a baby—the most special baby ever. The baby would be named Jesus. But first, Mary and Joseph had to travel to Bethlehem to be counted with their family.

After many days of traveling, Mary and Joseph arrived in Bethlehem. They found a place where they could rest. Soon their special baby was born.

Near Bethlehem, some shepherds watched their sheep in the fields. A very bright light shone in the nighttime sky. The shepherds looked up toward the light. It was an angel.

“Do not be afraid,” the angel said to the shepherds.
“I have good news to tell you. Jesus, God’s Son, has been born in Bethlehem! You will find the baby wrapped in strips of cloth and resting in a manger bed.”

Then the shepherds saw many angels. The angels praised and thanked God. They said, “God is so wonderful. We thank Him.” Then the angels left.

The shepherds wondered about this news. They said, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this special baby.”

The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem. They found the place where Mary and Joseph and the baby were resting. Jesus was in a manger just like the angel said.

The shepherds were happy to see the special baby. They hurried to tell everyone they saw that they had seen Jesus. The shepherds returned to the fields and their sheep, thanking God that they had seen Jesus.
