Matthew 2:1-2, 9-11 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Matthew. Matthew was a disciple of Jesus. That means Jesus was his teacher. And the word gospel means “good news!” Christmas is when we celebrate that Jesus was born. God loves us so much, that God gave us Jesus! Now, there were people called wise men who lived very far away. They were waiting for Jesus to be born because they knew Jesus was God’s Son.  After Jesus was born, God put a special star in the sky to show the wise men the way to Jesus so that they could celebrate Him.  The wise men knew they could follow the star to get to Jesus.

Yes, Mary and Joseph stayed in a stable where animals live. Because there were no rooms anywhere else. And that’s where Baby

Luke 2:8-21 Our true story comes from a part of the Bible called the Gospel of Luke. Luke loved Jesus and wanted others to know and love Jesus, too.

And Jesus is special because Jesus is God’s Son!  Not long after that, Mary and Joseph had to travel to a town called Bethlehem. Mary and Joseph didn’t stay in a super-fancy place. They stayed in a stable where animals live because there were no rooms anywhere else. And that’s where Baby Jesus was born. On the same day that Jesus was born, there were some shepherds in a field taking care of their sheep. Hmm . . . what do sheep sound like? When I count to three, let’s make a sheep sound together. One . . . two . . . three! “Baa-baa! Baa-baa!” While those shepherds watched their sheep, guess Who sent an angel to tell them that Jesus had been born. GOD! Go
