The Birth of Jesus
Luke 2; Matthew 1–2
God became a baby in a stable in Bethlehem.
The Story
Mary and Joseph traveled to Bethlehem because of a Roman census. When they arrived, every inn was full. They had to stay in a stable with the animals. That night, Baby Jesus was born. Mary wrapped Him in swaddling clothes and laid Him in a manger. Angels appeared to shepherds on the hillsides singing, 'Glory to God in the highest!' And the shepherds ran to see the newborn King.
The Lesson
God loves us so much that He came down to earth as one of us. Christmas is not just a birthday — it is the day Love became a baby.
