Lesson Content Suggestions Point 1: Who He was - the Word - Who He was - as to His earthly birth - his lineage and his parents. Matthew announces Him as the King, Luke announces Him as the son of man and John announces Him unashameably as God.
Point 2: Where he had been before - 1 Tim 1:15 came into the world! Note zacharias words "The Dayspring from on High shall visit us!" Lu 1:78 Some time could be spent on heaven and what is is like and who dwelt there.
Point 3: It is important to emphasize that this One is different than all others. His character and Person should be noted carefully.
Point 4: Note the announcement 1. to mary - 2. to joseph - 3. by the Angels to the Shepherds as they kept their flocks in lambing season. Never been a Lamb born like this One. Notes: It would be good for older classes who could appreciate it, that in Mark, there is no account of His Birth which is in keeping with the servant Character of the Gospel account of Mark.
