MATTHEW 1
The Ancestors of Jesus
Matthew 1:21

means “The Lord saves,” to reveal the
reason Jesus was born. Through Jesus,
God saves us from being separated
from him by our sin. Memorize this verse,
then ask your parents or guardians what
your name means!

The Birth of Jesus the Messiah
18This
is how Jesus the Messiah was
born. His mother, Mary, was engaged
to be married to Joseph. But before the
marriage took place, while she was still
a virgin, she became pregnant through
the power of the Holy Spirit. 19Joseph,
to whom she was engaged, was a righteous man and did not want to disgrace
her publicly, so he decided to break the
engagement quietly.
30:
Jesus dies, rises again,
and ascends to heaven.
