For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord

1. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government will be upon His shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 NKJV And she brought forth her firstborn Son, and wrapped Him in swaddling cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. Luke 2:7 NKJV For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord Luke 2:11 NKJV Jesus grew up in Nazareth (Matthew 2:21-23, Luke 2:39-40). Joseph was a carpenter (Matthew 13:55), and apparently Jesus learned that trade also (Mark 6:3). Nothing is known of Jesus' life between birth and age 30 except the incident at the Temple told in Luke 2:41-51.

2. Book of Matthew Chapter 3NKJV 13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan to be baptized by him.  14And John tried to prevent Him, saying, “I need to be baptized by You, and You are coming to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and said to him, “Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.”Then he allowed Him. 16When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened to Him, and He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting upon Him.  17And suddenly a voice came from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

3. Satan Tempts Jesus Matthew Chapter 4 1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.  3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,  6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ Psalms 91:11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’” Psalms 91:12 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’” 8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.  9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’” 11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

4. Four Fishermen Called as Disciples Matthew Chapter 4 NKJV 21 Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them,  22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him. 18 And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.  19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.

5. The Miracles of Jesus Matthew 4:23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. NKJV John 21:25 And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen.

6. Matthew Chapter 8 • Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, Pleading with Him, • saying, “Lord, my servant is lying at home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.” • And Jesus said to him, “I will come and heal him.” • The centurion answered and said, “Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof, But only speak a word, and my servant will be healed. • “For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers under me. And I say to this one, “Go,” and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” • 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be done for you.” And his servant was healed that same hour. NKJV

7. Luke Chapter 8 NKJV • 43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, • 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped. • And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?” When all denied it, Peter and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, and You say, “Who touched Me?’ • But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I Perceived power going out from Me.” • Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to :Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately. • And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

8. Luke Chapter 9 NKJV 13 But He said to them, “You give them something to eat.”And they said, “We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless we go and buy food for all these people.” 14 For there were about five thousand men. Then He said to His disciples, “Make them sit down in groups of fifty.” 15 And they did so, and made them all sit down. 16 Then He took the five loaves and the two fish, and looking up to heaven, He blessed and broke them, and gave them to the disciples to set before the multitude. 17 So they all ate and were filled, and twelve baskets of the leftover fragments were taken up by them. Matthew 14:21 Now those who had eaten were about five thousand men, besides women and children.

9. Matthew Chapter 14 25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, “Be of good cheer! It is I; do not be afraid.” 28 And Peter answered Him and said, “Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water.” 29 So He said, “Come.” And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, “Lord, save me!” 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. • Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him, saying, • “Truly You are the Son of God.”

10. Mark Chapter 10 13 Then they brought little children to Him, that He might touch them; but the disciples rebuked those who brought them. 14 But when Jesus saw it, He was greatly displeased and said to them, “Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of God. 15Assuredly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child will by no means enter it.”

11. The Greatest Commandment Matthew 22:37-40 37 Jesus said to him, “’You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38“This is the first and great commandment. 39“And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40“On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” NKJV

12. John Chapter 14 NKJV 2“In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

13. John Chapter 12 NKJV 12 The next day a great multitude that had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 13 Took branches of palm trees and went out to meet Him, and cried out: “Hosanna! ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!” The King of Israel!” 14 Then Jesus, when He had found a young donkey, sat on it: as it is written: 15 “Fear not, daughter of Zion: Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt.” Psalm 118:26

14. Matthew Chapter 26 NKJV 26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, “Take, eat: this is My body.” 27 Then He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. 28“For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. Luke 22:20 Likewise He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood, which is shed for you.” Luke 22:19 And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

15. Jesus Washes The Disciples’ Feet John 13:3-5 3 Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come from God and was Going to God, 4rose from supper and laid aside His garments, took a towel and girded Himself. 5After that, He poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ fee, and to wipe them with the towel with which He was girded. John 13:12-15 12So when he had washed their feet, taken His garments, and sat down again, He said to them,“Do you know what I have done to you? 13“You call Me Teacher and Lord, and you say well, for so I am. 14“If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15“For I have given you an example, that you should do as I have done to you.

16. Jesus In The Garden of Gethsemane On The Night of His Arrest Matthew 26:38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.” Matthew 26:42 Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done. Luke 22:44 And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

17. The Trial of Jesus Matthew 27:11 Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” Matthew 27:22 Then the governor said, “What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?” They all said to him, “Let Him be crucified!” Matthew 27:23 Then the governor said, “Why, what evil has He done?” But they cried out all the more, saying, “Let Him be crucified!” Luke 23:24-25 So Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they requested. And he released to them the one they requested, who for rebellion and murder had been thrown into prison; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

18. Matthew 27 28 And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him. 29 When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed to the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying “Hail, King of the Jews!” 30 Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head. 31 And when they had mocked Him, they look the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified. 32 Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

19. Mark 15 22 And they brought Him to the place Golgotha, which is translated, Place of a Skull. 27 With Him they also crucified two robbers, one on His right and the other on His left. 28 So the Scripture was fulfilled which says, “And He was numbered with the transgressors.” Is. 53:12 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying,“Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?” which is translated, “My God, My God, why have You forsaken Me?” 37 And Jesus cried out with a loud voice, and breathed His last. 39 So when the centurion, who stood opposite Him, saw that He cried out like this and breathed His last, he said, “Truly this Man was the Son of God!”

20. Luke 24 1 Now on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 But they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 Then they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were greatly perplexed about this, that behold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” 6 “He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 “saying, “The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again’”

21. Matthew 28 16 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, to the mountain which Jesus had appointed for them. 17 When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 “go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen. Luke 24 50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and he lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven.

22. Revelation 19:11-14 11 Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse. And He who sat on him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in Heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. Revelation 19:16 And he has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
