Jesus' Birth Complete Bible Lesson

Whether you need a meaningful stand-alone Christmas lesson or you’re working through the Getting to Know Jesus series any time of year, the story of Jesus’ birth gives children a powerful glimpse of God’s plan to save His people.

This Bible lesson from Luke 1:26-2:7 covers the stories of Gabriel's message to Mary, Mary's journey to visit Elizabeth, Gabriel's message to Joseph, and Jesus' birth in Bethlehem. (The stories of the shepherds and the wise men are covered in different lessons.)

Through the story of Jesus' birth, your kids will discover that:

1. God always keeps His promises - Every prophecy about God's promised Savior was fulfilled in Jesus Christ!
2. Jesus is God's promised Savior - Jesus is not just a "baby in a manger". He is the Son of David, the Messiah, the Son of God, Immanuel.

Older kids will explore Isaiah 9:6-7 as they learn more about Who Jesus is from prophecies God gave Isaiah about 700 years before Jesus was born.
