About this Bible story

In Luke 2, we learn about Baby Jesus being born in a humble manger. His birth was announced with joy, as 'A Savior has been born to you.' This story reminds us of the love and hope Jesus brings into our lives.

β€œA Savior has been born to you.”

β€” Luke 2:11 (NIV)

How to Use These Coloring Pages

While coloring, ask your kids why they think Jesus was born in a manger instead of a palace. Highlight how humble beginnings can lead to great things, just like Jesus' life. This activity can take about 30 minutes, so have crayons ready and perhaps a follow-up story about giving during Christmas.
