So do you know the story i'm going to tell you today
well the story is called zechariah and the angel well there's an angel in the story
i love the stories with angels come on holy start with the story since the time adam and eve tasted
the forbidden fruit in the garden of eden god had plans to bridge the gap their sin had caused
he himself could not be in the presence of any kind of sin which meant that there was no
one among the people who could join him in his heaven so god made a plan he sent his only son
jesus to earth who lived as a human being and taught people how to live for god
but before the birth of jesus there was another baby born who had an important job to do
zechariah was a jewish priest who lived with his wife elizabeth both zechariah and elizabeth
were very old and did not have any children even though they really wanted one one day zechariah
was serving in the temple when he was honored to be the one priest to go to the inner room of the
temple and burn incense to god while he was in the inner room a huge crowd of people were outside the
temple praying while zechariah was in the inner room of the temple an angel came to visit him
zechariah was terrified the angel said don't be afraid zechariah god has heard your prayers and
your wife will have a son and you have to name him john the people will rejoice at your son's
birth and he will be filled with the holy spirit which will convince many israelites to follow
god it is your son john who will prepare the people and their hearts for the coming of the lord . Zacaraya
was amazed by the angel's words he did not want to believe what he had just heard he said but my
wife and i are very old how can we have a son the angel replied my name is gabriel and god sent me
to you since you do not believe my words you will not be able to speak until the child is born
meanwhile the people outside were waiting for zechariah to come out
they wondered what was taking him so long when zechariah came out he could not speak to them
from his movements and gestures they realized that he had seen an angel inside
zachariah stayed in the temple until it was time for him to go home
soon after he got home his wife elizabeth was pregnant that was such a wonderful story holy
i loved it i really really did holy tales today's story is about shepherds visiting baby jesus
after his birth wow that sounds interesting the night mary gave birth to jesus
some shepherds in the field outside bethlehem had an interesting experience later in the night when
the night was dark and quiet the shepherds were watching over their sleeping sheep and protecting
them from harmful animals suddenly they saw the sky light up with the presence of god's angel
the glory of god filled up the whole sky that it was a slightest daytime the shepherds were
amazed when the angel of god spoke to them don't be afraid i have wonderful news for you
the angel said god's son is born tonight in a little village of bethlehem he is your savior
christ the lord you will find him wrapped in strips of cloth and lying in an animal's feed box
the shepherds were even more amazed when a whole choir of angels filled the sky singing
the lord's praises when the angels left the shepherds were filled with excitement
they hurried to bethlehem looking for the baby the angels were talking about
they found a baby lying in a feed box just as the angels had said in a little village in bethlehem
the shepherds were amazed and they told everyone about the baby and what the angels had said
mary listened to everything they told about jesus and kept all of that in her heart and mind
the shepherds then returned to their work in the fields
and they praised god and sang of his glorious gift that was indeed a wonderful story holy thank you
i am glad you all liked the story so the question for today is where was jesus born
jesus the son of god was born in a village in bethlehem that's correct well done
freckles we'll be back soon keep watching till next time bye bye the holy tales
so today's story is how joseph escaped to egypt with mary and jesus
soon after the wise man left god appeared to joseph in a dream and asked him to take mary and
jesus out of judah run to egypt because king herod wants to hurt jesus he is going to look for him
and kill him stay in egypt until i tell you when it is safe to return even though it was
the middle of the night joseph took jesus and mary and escaped to egypt they stayed there
until god appeared to joseph in another dream and told him that it was now safe to return to judah
king herod was very angry when he realized that the wise men had tricked him by taking another way
he had to make sure that this new king of the jews didn't capture his own kingdoms so he ordered his
guards to kill all the baby boys in and near bethlehem who were two years old or younger
this was a terrible time for the mothers who wanted their baby boys to be saved and they cried
when they couldn't after the death of king herod one of god's angels appeared to joseph and told
him that it was now safe to take jesus back home as the people who tried to kill the son of god
were dead following the angel's advice joseph took jesus and mary to nazareth
because he heard that another bad king was ruling in the place where they had lived before
this made the prophecy come true that jesus would also be called a nazarene the one who is from
nazareth king herod was a really really really bad king i don't like him yeah me too holy
what is the question you were going to ask us today the question is what was jesus known to be
since he came from nazareth i know he was called to be a nazarene the one who is from nazareth
well done freckles thank you holy but i still don't like king herod i know freckles we all don't
we'll be back soon keep watching bye bye
