Jesus in the Temple - Pt.3

When Jesus was about 12 years old He went with His family to Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover festival.

As they were returning to Nazareth with the caravan, Mary and Joseph discovered that Jesus was missing!

They returned to Jerusalem and looked and looked for Him.

After 3 days they finally found Jesus in the Temple, sitting with the teachers, listening and asking questions.

All who heard Him were amazed at His understanding of the Bible and God.

Jesus' mother said, "Son, we were so worried. We have been looking and looking for you."

And Jesus said,"Why were you looking for me? Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?"
But He left with them and returned to Nazareth, where He continued to obey His parents and to grow in God's love.

The Three Wise Men - Pt. 2

After Jesus was born, three wise men arrived in Jerusalem. They had followed the star from their country far, far away.

"We are looking for the baby who was born to be king of the Jews," they said. "We want to worship Him."

They were told they would find the baby in Bethlehem. So they traveled to Bethlehem and the Star continued to lead them.

When the three wise men found the baby Jesus with His mother, they fell to their knees and worshiped Him.

They gave Him gifts of gold and frankincense and myrrh.

Then the wisemen left and returned to their own country knowing that they had seen the child who would one day save all people.
(Matthew 2:1-12)

Jesus is Born - Pt. 1

Now God sent an angel to a young lady named Mary. The angel told her she would have a baby and that the baby would be God's Son. The angel said God's Son would save all who trusted Him from their sins. Mary was very happy.

Just before the Baby was to be born, Mary and Joseph, who was to be Mary's husband, had to go to Bethlehem. But Bethlehem was so crowded that the only place they could find to sleep was in a stable for animals.

That night, baby Jesus, God's Son, was born.

An angel appeared to shepherds in nearby fields. The angel told them that the Son of God had been born that night. He told them they would find the baby in a manger in Bethlehem.

Suddenly there were angels everywhere, praising God and saying, "Glory to God in heaven, and peace to all people who love Him!"

The shepherds immediately went to Bethlehem to see the Baby.

And then they told everyone about the things they had heard and seen!
