Story 73 Jesus is Born Biblical Truth: Jesus is the Savior who saves people from their sins.
Matthew 1:18-25
This story has so many miraculous things happening. See how many your child can remember. Share
some of your pregnancy story with him. What were some of the things you wondered or thought about
when you were pregnant with him? In this story, so many of the important ones are already known.
Joseph was told the baby’s gender, name, and destiny. Often these are the things we wonder about most
when we are waiting for the baby to arrive and grow up. Joseph knew them before the child was even
born. It is exciting to hear about a baby coming – how much more exciting to know that this baby was the
long-awaited Messiah that the Jewish people had been waiting for – the One who would save all people

Story 74 Biblical Truth: Jesus is our Shepherd Ruler.
Wise Men and
King Herod Many prophecies concerning Jesus are fulfilled in this story. See
Matthew 2:1-23 how many your child can remember. Point out the prophecy found
in Micah 5:2 which is retold in Matthew 2:6.
This prophecy concerning Jesus has not yet been completely fulfilled. Just as the prophecies in this story
came true so will this one. Jesus is coming again. He will be our shepherd ruler. Discuss with your child
what it means to be a shepherd. You may even want to look at Psalm 23 for a great description. Discuss
too what it means to be a ruler. What a blessing to have a shepherd ruler – a ruler who does so like a
shepherd, not like King Herod in this story. Stress that we can count on this prophecy coming true just like
all the others in this story have come true. It is as good as done.
Memory Verse “And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah, for from you
shall come a ruler who will shepherd my people Israel.” Matthew 2:6

Conversation Time: What did the younger son ask his father?
Encourage your child to tell you the God’s big story.
What did the younger son do with his inheritance?
Listen intently with not only your ears and eyes but with your heart.
Why was there a celebration on his return home?
Story 81 Biblical Truth: Jesus is the resurrection and the life.
Jesus Jesus is never early or late. He is always right on time. Help your
Raises Lazarus child to understand this truth. Waiting can be so very hard. In this
John 11:1-44 story, it seems Jesus is late.
He waits to go see his friend Lazarus who is very ill. Jesus could have healed Lazarus as the sisters well
knew yet he did not. It was not God’s will for him to heal him from this sickness. God had something bigger in
mind! He wanted the sisters and those with them, to witness a greater miracle – the coming back from the
dead, a resurrection. Just as Jesus resurrected Lazarus from the dead, even after four days, He will resurrect
the dead when He comes again. Doesn’t matter if it is four days or four hundred years, Jesus can do it. Jesus
is the resurrection and the life. If you believe in Him, even if you die, you will live again.
Memory Verse
“Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live”. John 11:25
The Triumphal Entry This story shares the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem as the long-
awaited Messiah. Go over with your child the way they introduced Jesus
Matthew 21:1-11 as He rode in on the colt of the donkey.
The crowds also laid their coats and tree branches on the road for the colt to walk upon showing the
importance of Jesus. They sang and praised while they journeyed into the city. Consider making up a
song of praise for Jesus with your child. If they could have been there to see Jesus riding in on the colt,
what would they have thought and spoke. If they could see Jesus now, what would they want to say to
Him? Encourage them to say those things to Jesus in prayer. Jesus deserves our praise.
Memory Verse
“…Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” Matthew 21:9
