Christmas lesson 1~The promise of Jesus coming to take our sins away

Genesis 3:12-15
Isaiah
Daniel
Luke 1:26-38


After Adam and Eve sinned by disobeying God and ate of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. God made a promise that He would some day send someone to take away the sin of all people (Gen. 3:12-15). It was a lot of years before god sent His savior. During those many year, God sent men to remind the people of his promise. We call these men, prophets. a couple of these prophets were Isaiah, and Daniel. You can read the books that they wrote that are named after them to see what they said.

Then came the time when God had everything lined up and was ready to send His savior into the world. God sent the angel Gabriel to a young lady named Mary to ask her to be a great part of God's plan. At first Mary was afraid when she saw Gabriel the angel. But he told her not to be afraid for God was pleased with her. Then he told her of God's plan of bringing God's son into the world by making her the Mother of God's son, and how this son would be the savior of the world. Once Mary understood what God was asking of her, she said, "Yes" (Luke 1:26-38).

I am sure God was very pleased that Mary was obedient to His will.
