Jesus – The Birth Narratives On your mini-whiteboard, draw the ‘nativity’. You have two minutes Go! 2 minutes

These things are NOT mentioned in the birth narratives! Last one standing! Everyone stand up! Sit down if you have NOT drawn … Baby Jesus A star Shepherds A manger Wise men Mary Sit down if you HAVE drawn … A stable A donkey Three kings These things are NOT mentioned in the birth narratives! Joseph Angel(s) Gifts for Jesus Sheep King Herod A house Compare your nativity scene with your ‘elbow buddy’. Have you drawn the same things? Discuss why this might be. Have you drawn anything additional to the things listed? If so, what?

The birth of Jesus The first four books of the New Testament of the Bible are called the Gospels. Can you name them? The word ‘Gospel’ means ‘good news’. The Gospels are a record of the life and teachings of Jesus. Only two of the Gospels, Matthew and Luke, record Jesus’ birth. Their accounts are known as the birth narratives.

Matthew 1:18 – 2:23 Matthew’s version of the birth narratives focuses on Joseph. Most scholars believe it was written between A.D. 80 and 90. Follow the story of Jesus’ birth in Matthew’s Gospel (p8-10 of your workbook) as you watch the upcoming video. After each clip, there will be questions for you to discuss. Annotate the text from Matthew’s account based on class discussion/feedback.

Matthew’s Account Matthew 1:18-24 - Joseph accepts Jesus as his son (play from 4:12) What does ‘Messiah’ mean? How did Mary become pregnant? What would have happened to Mary had Joseph made public that she was pregnant? How did Joseph find out how Mary became pregnant? What does the name ‘Jesus’ mean and why was Mary’s son to be called this? What is a ‘prophet’? Who gave the prophecy about a virgin having a baby? What does ‘Immanuel’ mean? Why is this significant? 1. Hebrew for ‘anointed one’. In the OT, prophets, kings and priests were anointed with oil when given these positions of responsibility. It was a sign that God had chosen them for that particular role. The Jews has read the prophecies in the OT about God sending a deliverer to save his people. (They were expecting a warrior who would deliver them from Roman rule … )
