Through the Year with The Urantia Book: Week 14 of Year 3 "Glory to God"

Menu

For adult study: "Glory to God"

The 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, 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.

The beautiful Christmas story of angels and shepherds is found in Luke’s gospel. The story tells that an angel appeared to shepherds in a field near Bethlehem. The angel said, “Behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.” Suddenly, many more angels appeared. They praised God saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” Then, the shepherds hastened to Bethlehem where they found Mary, Joseph, and baby Jesus.
