The story of Jesus' birth

2045 years ago, a couple named Mary and Joseph were travelling to Joseph’s hometown of Bethlehem. They were travelling there as ordered by king Caesar Augustus. Once they reached Bethlehem, Mary and Joseph were looking for an inn to stay for the night. Mary and Joseph were running out of options, they had come to their last in. Joseph was hoping that they had a room for them. The first innkeeper said “ Sorry, we don’t have a room for you “
but the other innkeeper suggested “I have a stable at the back of my house,I know it’s not plenty but at least it will keep you and your wife out of the cold.”

Joseph took the address from innkeeper and they headed there immediately. Meanwhile,two shepherds watching their sheep were admiring the night sky.“I’m so lucky it’s my turn to watch the sheep,I wouldn’t miss this for the world.” Suddenly, a heavenly light shone down upon them, they were petrified by the current scene but the angel calmed them down by saying “ Don’t be afraid, God has sent me to tell you that the saviour of the world is being born. Follow the star and it will lead you to the future king.”

The angel told them to go straight away and God will look after their sheep, they did as the angel told them and left straight away. They were not the only people going to see the saviour of the world, but also the Three Wise Men who had been waiting for his arrival. “The star looks like it’s descending so it shouldn’t be far now “ said one of the wise men
“ Yes we shouldn’t give up. this is once in a lifetime“ said the other wise men.

After an hour of travelling, the shepherds reached the destination where the angels told them about. There, laying down in front of them was the saviour of the world, “ We are very blessed to be in your presence.
“But how did you know we were here?“ Mary said,
“The angels told us about the coming of the saviour“ David said.

Not before long, the Three Wise Men arrived at the stable where Mary and Joseph were staying. “ We Three Kings bear gifts for the Saviour of the world,“ said one of the kings.
“ Frankincense to offer have I for the future king “ said the first king,
“ Myrrh is mine it is bitter perfume I bring for the Saviour of the world,“ said the second king.
“ Gold I bring to crown him again,“ said the last king.

“ Thank you,I’m very sure that Baby Jesus will be very happy, not just because you gave him your presents but also your hearts“ said Mary. That was the story of how the first Christmas went.

Fin!
