B12 Christmas

Lesson 1: A Son is Born

Readings: Luke 1: 26-38; 2: 1-7

The history of the whole world hinges on the birth of Jesus, the Son of God. Everyone’s hope of being in Heaven, depends on this. That is why the announcement by the angel Gabriel, was very special.

Lesson 2: A Saviour is Announced

Readings: Luke 2: 8-20

Often we tell friends and relatives of the birth of a baby by sending specially printed cards. However, when the Lord Jesus was born, His birth was announced in a very different way!

Lesson 3: A Sovereign Worshipped

Readings: Matthew 2: 1-12

When a baby is born into a family, everyone wants to know all about it! King Herod wanted to find out all he could from these men who spoke of a newly born King.

Lesson 4: Salvation!

Readings: Luke 2: 25-40

Special events, like holidays, Christmas and birthdays, always seem a long way off, as we anticipate them. “Will it ever come?” we say. Then the day arrives. How exciting it is! Simeon and Anna waited nearly all their lifetime for a special event they knew would happen, because they had read about it in their Scriptures, the
Old Testament. They knew God would keep His promise. The Holy Spirit had told Simeon that he would not die before he had seen the Christ. Another name for ‘the Christ’ is ‘the Messiah’.
