What would Joseph
think ? He and Mary
were to be married. The angel
told Joseph
in a dream to take Mary
as his wife. Mary
’s baby would be God
’s own perfect Son.
Soon the baby would be born. The King
said that everyone had to go to the town where they were born and be counted. Mary
and Joseph
had to travel to Bethlehem.
When they got to Bethlehem there was no place for them to stay. An innkeeper let them stay in the stable or barn where the animals lived. That night when the moon
and stars
were shining baby Jesus
was born ! Mary
put Jesus
in a manger.
Jesus
came as a baby. He was God
’s special gift
to you and me. He is the Saviour!
