The Baby Who Slept in a Barn
Luke 2:7-21
Jesus
was a dear little babe. His mother was far from home when he was born, and
she had no pretty basket in which to lay him. So she placed him lovingly
on the soft hay, which filled the manger. And there he slept. There the
angels looked down upon him from heaven and smiled. They knew he had come
to bring joy to the world, and that he was the greatest King this world
would ever know. Out
on the hillsides not far away, some shepherds were watching their sheep
that night. Suddenly they saw a great light in the sky. In that light they
saw an angel. And they were afraid. Then
the angel said, "Fear not!" He told them that Jesus had been
born. He said they would find Jesus lying in a manger in Bethlehem. Many
other angels joined this one, and they sang, "Glory to God in the
highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." The sounds of the
sweet music filled the air.
