Describe the birth of Jesus Christ.

Answers

Eric
The birth of Jesus took place in Bethlehem the city of David during the reign of Emperor
Augustus Caesar.
A Census had been ordered by the emperor. Mary and Joseph travelled to Bethlehem the Birth
place of Jesus.
When the time came for her to have her child, there was no place available to her for the entire
place available had been booked. She gave birth and laid the child in a manger and wrapped him
with clothes.
In that region, there were shepherds looking after their flock; the angel of the Lord appeared to
them, shepherds got scared but the angel told them not to be afraid, he had good news for them.
The good news would bring great joy to all the people.
The Messiah had been born in David’s Town. They would go into the town and would find a
baby wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.
Suddenly an army of heavenly angels appeared and sang a praise of God saying;
Glory to God ion the highest and on earth peace be toward men
When the angels left, the shepherds went to Bethlehem and saw the baby lying on a manger.
They told the parents of Jesus about the message from the angel. Mary kept to her heart all the
things she had been told.
The fact that the first people to get information about the birth of the Messiah were shepherds
symbolized that God’s salvation goes to the humble and the lowly.
