born to her.

obedient.

NARRATOR: Angel Gabriel informed Mary that she was to name the child Jesus,for
He would be the son of God and rule over Israel forever.
MARY: “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior”
MARY: An angel of the Lord came to me. He said I was going to have a child and—I don’t
know how to say this—the child would be the Son of God.
MARY: The Holy Spirit came upon me. Joseph, I’m pregnant.
NARRATOR: When Mary told Joseph, he did not believe Mary’s story, he was confused
and hurt. ‘How can this story be true, that an angel told Mary that she will have a son of
God’?
Joseph was also worried that Mary was expecting a baby before their marriage had
taken place.
At night Joseph thought to himself to divorce Mary quietly, but then an angel appeared
to Joseph in a dream
ANGEL GABRIEL: Joseph the child in Mary’s womb Is the son of God, he would save his
people from their sins. Take Mary as your wife and name the child Jesus.
NARRATOR: When Joseph awoke from his dream, he did all that the angel
commanded.
NARRATOR: When the time of the birth drew near, Mary and Joseph had to travel to
Bethlehem because of an order from the Roman emperor that a census would be taken
in their hometown to count the people.
Joseph took the pregnant Mary and they travelled on a donkey for several days. It was
not an easy journey. Soon they arrived in Bethlehem.
JOSEPH: It looks like an inn. Maybe they have space for us.
JOSEPH: We have travelled a long way and we are need of a room. This is Mary. She is
pregnant and about to have a baby.
INNKEEPER: I’m sorry, but there just isn’t any space for you.
INNKEEPER: I tell you what. I have a barn out back for the animals. There is shelter
there, but that is all I can do. I’m sorry.
NARRATOR: Mary and Joseph settled down on the hay in a stable and surrounded by
animals.
It was not long that Mary went into labor and in the place where the animals slept,
Mary gave birth to Jesus; Jesus was born in the stable in Bethlehem. Baby Jesus was
laid in a manger which is animals' trough, and the sleeping baby Jesus, the son of
God, rested in the manger.
Now, when Jesus was born, a brand-new bright star appeared in the sky.
STAR: I am the star that shines in the east, I light the stable for man and beast
NARRATOR: During this time, an angel appeared to 3 shepherds who were watching
their flocks in the fields near Bethlehem. The angel told them the good news of the
birth of the Savior and Messiah, Jesus Christ.
The shepherd saw a shining star in the sky and the shepherds immediately followed the
star
as they went to find baby Jesus. The star led them to where baby Jesus was laid in a
manger.
The shepherds knelt and worshipped the Savior and gave Him gifts of gold,
frankincense, and myrrh.
The birth of Jesus is celebrated yearly at Christmas time.
