Jesus' Birth
 
   

She gave birth to her first born son.

 

 

LUKE 2:7
 


Were you born in a nice clean hospital with doctors to take care of you? God could have sent Jesus to earth in a flaming chariot pulled by angels, but he didn't. Jesus was born like all other people on earth. But he wasn't born in a nice hospital. There were no doctors to help his mother, or care for him.

Mary and Joseph were in a small stable when Jesus was born Mary wrapped her new baby in strips of cloth. There was no bed to lay him in. Just a manger, a place where the animal's food was kept. But, Jesus was born like all other people on earth.
Maybe Mary wished she could lay her new baby in a soft bed. But she knew that God's plan was best.

How does a brand new baby look?
Look at a picture of you when you were a little baby.
How did you look ?

Dear God,
It must have been hard for you to send Jesus to be born as a baby. Thank you that he was. Since he was a person like me, he understands how I feel.
Amen.
Love, Tia Célia
