Gifts for Jesus

When Jesus Christ was born, a new star rose in the sky. Wise Men knew the star meant that Jesus had been born. They followed the star. They traveled many days.

Three wise men ride on camels as they head toward Bethlehem. The star of Bethlehem goes before them.
A young Jesus Christ is presented with gifts by three Wise men.

When the Wise Men found Jesus, they gave Him gifts. They knelt before Him and worshipped Him. They knew He was the Son of God.

A brother and sister help shovel snow of a sidewalk and stairs in front of their grandparent's home.

I can give gifts to Jesus too. I can show my love for Him when I follow His example and show love to others.
