The time is near. The journey from Galilee to Jerusalem is almost over. The crowds are large, everyone having travelled to their homeland for the census, decreed by Caesar Augustus.
The only room for Joseph and Mary is a stable, surrounded by gentle animals. Alone but not afraid, she gives birth to a son, named Jesus. For now, He is only a baby. But they both know He is much more.
Angels sing of His birth. Shepherds leave their flocks to find Him in the night.
The wise men set off on their own journey, following the start that signalled His birth. Their gifts were true, but Herod's motives were not. The evil king had his eye on Jesus from the start. The Saviour was born.
Glory to God in the Highest, and on Earth peace, good will towards men.
Lesson One Hundred Six: Have you started your own journey yet? One foot in front of the other. It begins with a single step.
624 to go...
