MenuThe story summary and questions were written in a way that makes it possible to use a New Testament reference in place of the Urantia reference. A selected chapter from a 1932 book, titled Treasure-House of the Living Religions, supports a spiritual theme that is found within the story. Children will use a one page handout that includes a coloring picture.

You may remember that Gabriel appeared to Mary with glad tidings. She was chosen to be the mother of baby Jesus, the savior and light of the world. Joseph received assurance of this when an angel appeared to him in a dream. Both of these experiences helped Mary and Joseph in the great task that lay ahead. Together, they journeyed to Bethlehem where Jesus was born in a stable. Imagine how Mary and Joseph felt as they gazed upon baby Jesus in the manger.
