Lesson Content
1. Mary and Joseph travelled to the town of Bethlehem. The inn was full, so there was no room for them to stay (Luke 2:4-7).
2. That night, baby Jesus was born! Mary wrapped Him snugly and laid Him in a manger — a feeding box for animals (Luke 2:7).
3. Nearby, shepherds were watching their sheep. Suddenly an angel appeared and said, "Don't be afraid! I bring you good news of great joy — a Saviour is born!" (Luke 2:8-11).
4. The sky filled with angels praising God: "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace!" (Luke 2:13,14).
5. The shepherds hurried to Bethlehem and found baby Jesus, just as the angel had said. They went home praising God and telling everyone (Luke 2:16-20).
Talk about it: Jesus is called our Good Shepherd — He cares for us like a shepherd cares for his little lambs (John 10:11).
Moral
God loved us so much that He sent His Son Jesus to us. Jesus is our Saviour and our Good Shepherd who cares for us always.
