The story (Luke 2:6–16)
This is the very first Christmas! Baby Jesus has been born in Bethlehem, and he is fast asleep in a manger filled with hay. Mary and Joseph watch over him with big smiles. Jesus is not just any baby: he is God's own Son, the Saviour God promised long ago. The Bible doesn't list the animals, but a stable like this might have had a cow, a donkey and some sheep. God's greatest gift had arrived.
Memory verse
“There is born to you today, in David’s city, a Saviour, who is Christ the Lord.”
(Luke 2:11, World English Bible, public domain)
