The birth of Jesus happened during a busy time in the town of Bethlehem. The town was so crowded that Mary, the mother of Jesus, gave birth to Him in a stable because no lodging was available. The news of the birth of our Savior broke through the busy-ness, offering joy to shepherds and ultimately all people, including you. Read Luke 2:1-11 to remember this story.

Questions for reflection or discussion:

1. What might be distracting you from celebrating the birth of Jesus this Christmas?

2. How does Jesus’ birth make joy available to all people?

3. How does Jesus’ birth bring you joy?

Prayer
