Good News of Great Joy

Name Date

Read the Story

Caesar Augustus ordered everyone to be counted. So Joseph took Mary to Bethlehem, the town of King David. While they were there, Jesus was born. Mary wrapped Him in strips of cloth. She laid Him in a manger, because there was no room in the inn.

Nearby, shepherds were watching their sheep at night. An angel of the Lord appeared, and God's glory shone around them. The angel told them not to be afraid. He brought good news of great joy for all people. Then many angels praised God, singing glory to God in the highest. The shepherds hurried and found the baby just as the angel said.

Forty days later, Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple. Simeon and Anna praised God, because they knew this child was the One God promised. When Jesus was twelve, He stayed in the temple, listening to the teachers and asking questions.

Luke 2 · Grade 4

The Savior Has Come

Name Date

Read and Think

Luke tells the Christmas story with real places and rulers. Caesar Augustus ordered a census, so Joseph traveled from Nazareth to Bethlehem with Mary. Bethlehem was the city of David, and the prophets had said a great King would come from David's family. There Jesus was born and laid in a manger because there was no room for them in the inn.

God did not announce the birth to kings first. He sent an angel to shepherds, ordinary workers in the fields. The angel said a Savior had been born, who is Christ the Lord, and that they would find Him wrapped in cloth and lying in a manger. A great crowd of angels praised God. The shepherds went quickly, found Jesus, and spread the news. Mary treasured all these things in her heart.

In the temple, an old man named Simeon held Jesus and praised God, saying his eyes had seen God's salvation. The prophet Anna thanked God too. Years later, twelve-year-old Jesus stayed behind in the temple. When His worried parents found Him, He said He had to be in His Father's house. Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and people.

Luke 2 · Grade 5

Glory to God in the Highest

Name Date

Read and Think

Luke 2 shows that God works through history. A decree from Caesar Augustus, the most powerful ruler in the world, moved Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem at exactly the right time, so that the promised Son of David was born in David's town. The King of kings arrived not in a palace but in a humble place, and was laid in a manger.

The first people to hear were shepherds. An angel announced good news of great joy for all the people: a Savior, Christ the Lord. Then a multitude of angels praised God, giving Him glory and announcing peace on earth. The shepherds went at once, found everything just as they had been told, and returned glorifying and praising God. Mary kept all these sayings, pondering them in her heart.

When Jesus was presented at the temple, Simeon, who had been waiting for God's promise, took Him in his arms. He praised God that his eyes had seen God's salvation, a light for the nations and glory for Israel. Anna, an elderly prophet, gave thanks and spoke about Jesus to everyone waiting for redemption. At twelve, Jesus amazed the teachers with His understanding and told His parents that He must be in His Father's house. Even as a boy, Jesus knew who His true Father was.
