Birth of Jesus Christ Powerpoint

She gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn” (Luke 2.7).

Jesus was born into a humble, righteous family. Joseph was of David’s lineage (Luke 1.27; 2.4). Mary was favored by God (1.30). Joseph and Mary were strict Law-observers, in that they circumcised Jesus on the eighth day (2.21), presented him to the Lord in the temple (2.22), and offered the required sacrifice (2.24), all according to the Law of Moses (2.22, 24). They made the annual journey to Jerusalem for Passover during Jesus’ childhood years (2.41). And Jesus himself grew in favor with God (2.41, 52).
