Merry Christmas!
This week we will learn about Jesus' birth in a stable, the angels song and the shepherds visit to worship baby Jesus.
From The Beginners Bible
The city of Bethlehem was crowded. Many people had come there. Joseph and Mary looked for a place to stay. But there was no room in any house. All the beds were full. People were even sleeping on the floors. So Joseph and Mary had to stay in a stable where the donkeys and horses stayed.
That night, the baby was born. It was God's baby son. Mary and Joseph named him Jesus, just as the angel told them to do. They wrapped him up so he would be warm. Mary made a soft bed for him in a manger. The baby Jesus slept there. Mary loved him. Joseph loved him. And God loved him,
It was still night. Outside the town of Bethlehem, some sheep were sleeping. Shepherds were watching them. Suddenly an angel came to the shepherds. And God's glory some around them. They were afraid. But the angel said, "Do not be afraid. I am bringing you good news. This is happier news for all the people: today in Bethlehem, God's Son was born. You can go see him. He is wrapped warm and snug in a manger!"
Then many, many angels came from heaven. They praised God.
"Glory to God in the highest, and peace on Earth!"
