Welcome to our Tell me the story of Jesus Bible study program. This is our deLIGHTful and very popular ... The Birth of Jesus Christ Bible journey into the purpose and blessing we received on the glorious day that people shout about from the rooftops ... Jesus Christ is born. The absolutely awesome birth of Jesus Christ is one of the most important days in a Christians life. So, rejoice my friend because Salvation is now available through God's Grace ... Jesus Christ is born !!! Let's look into this most SON-sational and extremely exciting birth of Jesus Christ story together, shall we?
We will pick up at the point where John the Baptist was spiritually chosen by God to prepare the way for the Jesus who is the Son of God placed into the bloodline of King David as Prophecy had predicted.
THE BIRTH OF JESUS CHRIST BIBLE PROPHECY
At that time, there was a law from Caesar Augustus,
who was the first Roman emperor, that the whole world must go to the
city that each was born in and register so they could be taxed. What they
were doing was trying to get a grip on the Israelites because the
Romans were ruling them at the time.
Joseph had to go back to
Bethlehem to register, because that was his birthplace and Mary was
close to her time to deliver the baby.
Little did the Romans know, that
they were fulfilling scripture by having Joseph return to his
birthplace of Bethlehem ...
|
Micah
5:2
And thou Bethlehem, in the
land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of
thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. |
This is a sign that ...
JESUS IS LORD !!!
WHERE WAS JESUS BORN?
Now, after a long journey ... Joseph and Mary finally arrived,
but there was no room at the inn
because so many others had also come from other towns to register, so
they had to stay elsewhere.
Now, this brings up the question as
to exactly where Jesus was born in that city.
The stories we see on television
and books as a child, portrays that the Birth of Jesus Christ Bible story occurred in a stable because He was
born in a "Manger" ...
But, the Bible does NOT actually
state what type of structure He was BORN in, so many people debate
the issue.
Some say it was a barn or stable.
Others say, back then they used
caves as stables, so it was a cave.
Still others say it was a house and
they explain it by saying that the mangers, being feeding troughs
for animals, were kept inside during winter to protect livestock
from cold. But at either rate ... Jesus Christ is Born.
Luke does say the Wise men visited
Him in a house (Which we will see in a bit) but that may have been
AFTER the birth of Jesus and they found lodging.
In TRUTH ...
It matters not if our Lord was born
in a barn, cave or house ...
The point is ...
JESUS, OUR SAVIOR ... WAS BORN !!!
We now have Grace because of God's love for us.
Never allow such issues to take
away from that TRUTH.
Let us continue, shall we?
SHEPHERD'S VISITOR
Mary gave birth to the baby Jesus. She wrapped Him
up in long bands of cloth called swaddling clothes and laid Him in a
manger.
Let's take a lil Birth of Jesus Christ Bible field trip ... There were shepherds staying in the field nearby
keeping a night watch on their sheep and the Angel of the Lord
appeared to them. The glory of the Lord shone all around them and it
scared them. The Angel said to them, Don't be afraid, I'm bringing you
good news of great joy for all people. For you today, in the city of
David, a Savior is born, which is Christ the Lord. And this will prove
it to you. You will find the baby wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying
in a manger. Suddenly, with the Angel, there appeared countless Angels
praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth
peace, good will toward men.
When the Angels left and went back to Heaven, the
shepherds said to one another, Let's go to Bethlehem and see what the
Lord told us about. They hurried to find Mary, Joseph, and the baby
lying in the manger. Then they spread the news to other nations all
about the child that the Angel told them about. Anyone who heard it
wondered, but Mary believed all that Gabriel had told her, deep in her
heart.
This is a sign that ...
JESUS CHRIST IS BORN AND THAT JESUS IS LORD !!!
CIRCUMCISION VISITORS
On the eighth day after the baby Jesus was born,
according to the law of Moses, the holy family followed the customs of
the Jews by having Jesus circumcised. They named the baby Jesus as the
Angel told both Mary and Joseph before the baby was conceived.
They took Jesus to Jerusalem to present Him to the
Lord and to offer a sacrifice for Him (as the law of the Lord says (Exodus
13:2), Every male that opens the
womb is holy to the Lord) of a pair of turtledoves or two young
pigeons.
Here is another prophecy from the Birth of Jesus Christ Bible events. There was a wise old man in Jerusalem, whose name
was Simeon. He was a pious man, waiting for the promised Messiah of Israel and
the Holy Ghost was with him. The Holy Ghost revealed to him that he
wouldn't die until he had seen the Lord. The Spirit led him into the
temple and when Mary and Joseph brought in the child Jesus, Simeon
took Him in his arms and blessed God, saying, Lord, now let your
servant die in peace according to your Word: For my eyes have seen
your salvation which you have prepared before the face of all people;
a light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of your people Israel. Yes, more proof and reason to shout ... Jesus Christ is Born!
Joseph and Mary were amazed at the things that
Simeon said, and Simeon blessed them, and said to Mary, This child is
set for the fall and rising again of many in Israel; and for a sign
that will be spoken against; (Yea, a sword shall pierce through thy
own soul also,) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.
There was also a prophetess named Anna from the
tribe of Asher, who was very old and had been a widow for 84 years.
She didn't leave the temple, but served God with fasting and prayers
night and day. And she came in at that very moment and gave thanks to
the Lord and prayed for all who wanted salvation in Israel.
These are more signs that ...
JESUS IS LORD !!!
A NEW STAR PROVES JESUS CHRIST IS BORN
Now, as we continue sojourning into the Birth of Jesus Christ Bible adventure, there was a great new Star in the
Heavens and all saw it.
Wise men from the East came to Jerusalem and
said, Where is the baby that has been born King of the Jews?
We saw His star in the east and we've come to worship Him.
As you may well imagine, Herod, the king at the
time, was very jealous when he heard the news that a NEW king was just
born. He gathered all of his top men together and insisted to know
where this Christ child was supposedly born because there was prophecy
in scripture that foretold of all of the events taking place. They
answered, in Bethlehem of Judea, for it is written by the prophet ( Micah
5:2), And thou Bethlehem, in the
land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of
thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.
So, secretly ... Herod asked the wise men what time the
star appeared and then he sent them to Bethlehem saying, Go look for the
child and when you find Him, come back and tell me so I can come and
worship Him too. He was actually deceiving them and had sinister
thoughts and plans in mind.
The wise men left and the star that they saw in the
east led them until it stopped over where Jesus was and they fell down and worshipped Him. They gave Him
presents of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Then God warned these wise
men in a dream that they shouldn't go back to Herod, so they went back
to their home country by a different route.
Now, here is a lil fact for ya ... In almost every book and movie you read or
watch there are three wise men. However, the Bible does NOT say there were
three wise men. The reason people say that there were three wise men is because they gave
the baby Jesus
three different types of gifts, being gold, frankincense and myrrh. There very well may have been three wise men or maybe
three hundred.
But, again ... It matters lil how
many wise men were LED BY GOD by a star to see Jesus. The truth is that the Birth of Jesus Christ Bible story is proven by prophecy.
Just that God led em by a NEW STAR
and that was yet ANOTHER SIGN that ...
JESUS CHRIST IS BORN AND JESUS IS LORD !!!
The Angel of the Lord appeared again to Joseph in a
dream and said, Get up and take the young child and His mother and
flee into Egypt. Stay there until I let you know. Herod will look for
the young child to kill Him. Joseph woke up and took the baby Jesus
and Mary in the middle of the night and left for Egypt. They were
there until Herod died and what the prophet Hosea said was fulfilled ( Hosea
11:1), Out of Egypt have I called
my Son.
Meanwhile ... During the time that
the holy family was in Egypt, before Herod’s death, Herod realized that he was tricked by
the wise men who never returned. He was burning mad and had all the
male children from two years old and under killed in Bethlehem and the
surrounding area hoping to kill this NEW king. This fulfilled what the
prophet Jeremiah had written
Jeremiah
31:15, In Ramah there was a
voice that was heard. Sadness and crying and mourning. Rachel weeping
for her children, and she would not be consoled because they are dead.
Ramah was in the area of Israel that God gave to the tribe of
Benjamin, and Joseph’s two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Years later, When Herod died, an Angel of the Lord
appeared in a dream to Joseph, who was living in Egypt with his family
as he was warned, and said, Take the young child and His mother and go
into the land of Israel. Those who tried to take the child’s life are
dead.
So Joseph took Jesus and Mary back to Israel, but when he heard
that Herod’s son Archelaus inherited the kingdom in Judea, he was
afraid to go there, however, being warned by God in a dream, he went
into Galilee. They settled in a city called Nazareth (That is why you
have heard the saying ... Jesus of Nazareth) and the prophecy
was fulfilled that was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a
Nazarene ( Isaiah
11:1). And Jesus grew and became
strong in spirit, filled with wisdom and the grace of God was with
Him.
The Birth of Jesus Christ Bible story suddenly starts again years later as nothing is shared with us for the next few years of
Jesus growing up. It begins again by saying that Mary and Joseph went to Jerusalem every year at the
Feast of the Passover.
When Jesus was
twelve years old
and they went to Jerusalem, when they were returning home, Jesus
stayed behind in Jerusalem without Mary and Joseph knowing. Thinking
that Jesus was with the group that they were traveling with, they
traveled back a day’s journey before they noticed Him missing and they
looked for Him among their relatives and friends. When they couldn’t
find Him, they went back to Jerusalem to find Him.
After three days they found Him in the temple,
sitting in the middle of the doctors and teachers. He was listening to
them and asking them questions and preaching to them. Everyone who
heard Him was astonished at His understanding and His answers (Isaiah
11:2).
When Mary and Joseph saw Him they were amazed and
Mary asked Him, Son, why have you done this to us? Joseph and I have been worried sick. And Jesus said to them, Why were you
looking for me? Didn’t you know that I must be about my Father’s
business?
They didn’t understand what He meant. He went back
with them to Nazareth and stayed with them, but Mary knew in her heart
that He was right. And Jesus grew older and in favor with God and man.
