    When Did MosesSpeak About Jesus?

    Deuteronomy 18:15; John 1:45; 5:4546; Luke 24:27

    J esus was the Son of God. But the Jews wanted proof. Accordingto the Law of Moses, Jesus needed a witness to speak on His behalf.

    So Jesus told the Jews that Moses had written about Him. Fourteenhundred years before Jesus was born, Moses wrote, The Lord your

    God will give you a prophet like me. He will be one of your own

    people. Listen to him.

    How was Jesus like Moses? They were both prophets, priests,

    lawgivers, and leaders of men. They both taught new truths and

    new commandments. And they both performed miracles. After

    Philip met Jesus, he found Nathanael and told him, Remember that

    Moses wrote in the law about a man who was coming. . . . We have

    found him. He is Jesus.

    DearFather,thankYouforJesus!Because

    Theres another way Jesus was like Moses.

    Moses was called a deliverer. He obeyed God

    and delivered the Israelites from captivity in Egypt.

    Jesus was called Deliverer too. He deliversyou and me from another kind of captivitythat

    of sin and death. That is why it is so important

    to find Jesus! Ask Him into your heart today!

    P rophetswere messengers for God. They told about thingsthat would happen in the future. Isaiah was one of the greatestprophets. He lived eight hundred years before Jesus was born. But

    listen to the words Isaiah wrote about Jesus: A child will be born

    to us. God will give a son to us. . . . His name will be Wonderful

    Counselor, Powerful God, Father Who Lives Forever, Prince of

    Peace.

    Through Isaiah, God gave us the wonderful promise of Jesus.

    But Isaiah wasnt the only prophet who spoke about Jesus. Micah

    told where He would be born; Zechariah said His side would bepierced; David said He would be crucified.

    And they all said that someday the Promised Onewould come!

    Jesus gave us another promise before leaving

    the earth and returning to heaven. Did you know

    that Jesus promised to come a second time?When He came the first time, not everyone got

    to see Him. But when He comes again, every

    eye will see Him coming in the clouds!

    John the Disciple SaidJesus Was the Word

    John 1:1; 14:9; Luke 13:3

    T he very first verse in the book of John tells us who Jesus is. Johncalls Him the Word. Words help us understand things. Words

    describe things others have not seen, and words can save us from

    dangerous situations. For example, we shout, Stop! to prevent an

    accident.

    John calls Jesus the Word because it is Jesus who helps us

    understand who God is. We havent seen God, but Jesus tells us

    about God when He says, He who has seen me has seen theFather. It is Jesus who tells us about heaven, and it is Jesus who

    saves us from the dangers of sin. Change your hearts and lives!

    He warns.

    Jesus is the walking, talking, living, breathing Word of God.

    The Angel Said JesusWas the Son of God

    Luke 1:2638

    M ore than three hundred prophecies had been written about thecoming Messiah. Jesus was coming soon! And Gods very special

    plan would include a young Jewish girl named Mary. God sent theangel Gabriel to visit Mary.

    Seeing an angel might frighten anyone! So Gabriel said, Dont

    be afraid, Mary, because God is pleased with you. Listen! . . . You

    will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. . . . He will be

    called the Son of God.Mary trusted God and she said, Let this happen to me as you

    say! Then the angel went away as quickly as he had appeared.

    God was pleased with Mary. What was it about

    Mary that pleased God so much? The Bible says,

    Without faith no one can please God. Faith is

    believing that God will do what He promises.MarybelievedGods promises. How is yourfaith right now? Are you trusting God day by

    day? Can you say, like Mary, Do what You will,

    Lord? Pleasing God always begins with faith!

    A Special Name fora Special Baby

    Luke 1:3031; Matthew 1:2021

    W hen God makes a plan, no detail is left out. So when Heplanned to send a Savior into this world, He had just the right name

    picked out. What was it?

    When the angel Gabriel first appeared to Mary, he told her, You

    will give birth to a son, and you will name him Jesus. Later an angel

    also appeared to Joseph in a dream. The angel said to Joseph,

    Mary will give birth to a son. You will name the son Jesus. Give him

    that name because he will save his people from their sins.The nameJesusis Greek for the Hebrew name Yeshua, which

    means God saves. What the angel said to Joseph was this: call His

    name God saves because He will save His people from their sins.

    So Mary and Joseph obeyed the command of God. They named

    this Childwho had been sent from GodJesus.

    Jesus was sent to save. Are you saved? What

    does it mean tobe saved? Being saved meansthat you are rescued from danger. Jesus rescues

    us from the danger of missing heaven and beingseparated from God forever. Jesus is the One who

    rescues and saves us from the penalties of sin!

    When Was Jesus Born?Galatians 4:4

    G ods timing is always perfect. He is never too early or too late.He is never in a hurry andunlike you and meHe is always on

    time. The Bible says that when the right time came, God sent his

    Son. Through the ages, God had been preparing the world for the

    coming of Jesus.Many prophets had told about Jesus coming, and the Jewish

    people were watching for the promised Messiah. The world was

    united under Roman rule, and the Romans had built good roads to

    every part of the world. Greek was a common language. All of this

    was just perfect for spreading Jesus message of hope to people

    everywhere!

    Jesus was indeed born at just the right time!
