Nascimento
O nascimento é obra das mãos de Deus. Cada criança é formada por Ele no ventre materno com propósito e amor. A Bíblia celebra a vida desde a concepção até a eternidade.
O nascimento de Jesus
O maior nascimento da história mudou o curso da humanidade. Jesus nasceu de uma virgem pelo poder do Espírito Santo, conforme as profecias.
The Birth of Jesus
This is how Jesus Christ was born. A young woman named Mary was engaged to Joseph from King David’s family. But before they were married, she learned that she was going to have a baby by God’s Holy Spirit. Joseph was a good man and did not want to embarrass Mary in front of everyone. So he decided to quietly call off the wedding.
While Joseph was thinking about this, an angel from the Lord appeared to him in a dream. The angel said, "Joseph, the baby that Mary will have is from the Holy Spirit. Go ahead and marry her. Then after her baby is born, name him Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins."
So the Lord’s promise came true, just as the prophet had said, "A virgin will have a baby boy, and he will be called Immanuel," which means "God is with us."
After Joseph woke up, he and Mary were soon married, just as the Lord’s angel had told him to do. But they did not sleep together before her baby was born. Then Joseph named him Jesus.
But the Lord will still give you proof. A virgin is pregnant; she will have a son and will name him Immanuel.
An Angel Tells about the Birth of Jesus
One month later God sent the angel Gabriel to the town of Nazareth in Galilee with a message for a virgin named Mary. She was engaged to Joseph from the family of King David.
Then the angel told Mary, "Don’t be afraid! God is pleased with you, and you will have a son. His name will be Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of God Most High. The Lord God will make him king, as his ancestor David was. He will rule the people of Israel forever, and his kingdom will never end."
Mary asked the angel, "How can this happen? I am not even married!"
The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come down to you, and God’s power will come over you. So your child will be called the holy Son of God.
Formados desde o ventre
Deus nos teceu no ventre de nossa mãe. Antes de nascermos, Ele já nos conhecia e nos separou para um propósito sagrado.
You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
Nothing about me
is hidden from you!
I was secretly woven together
out of human sight,
but with your own eyes you saw
my body being formed.
Even before I was born,
you had written in your book
everything about me.
"Jeremiah, I am your Creator,
and before you were born,
I chose you to speak for me
to the nations."
You, Lord, brought me
safely through birth,
and you protected me
when I was a baby
at my mother’s breast.
From the day I was born,
I have been in your care,
and from the time of my birth,
you have been my God.
I have relied on you
from the day I was born.
You brought me safely
through birth,
and I always praise you.
The Lord answered,
"Could a mother forget a child
who nurses at her breast?
Could she fail to love an infant
who came from her own body?
Even if a mother could forget,
I will never forget you.
The Lord is the one
who makes birth possible.
And he will see that Zion
has many more children.
The Lord has spoken.
Crianças — bênção e promessa
Jesus acolheu as crianças e disse: delas é o Reino dos céus. Os filhos são herança do Senhor e motivo de alegria para os pais.
But Jesus said, "Let the children come to me, and don’t try to stop them! People who are like these children belong to God’s kingdom."
But if you are as humble as this child, you are the greatest in the kingdom of heaven. And when you welcome one of these children because of me, you welcome me.
Then Jesus took the children in his arms and blessed them by placing his hands on them.
Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord.
to give me a child. Here he is! The Lord gave me just what I asked for.
because everything you do
makes me happy,
and I sing joyful songs.
Nascer de novo
Jesus ensinou que é preciso nascer de novo para ver o Reino de Deus. O novo nascimento é espiritual — pelo Espírito e pela Palavra.
Jesus replied, "I tell you for certain that you must be born from above before you can see God’s kingdom!"
When a woman is about to give birth, she is in great pain. But after it is all over, she forgets the pain and is happy, because she has brought a child into the world.
God’s children cannot keep on being sinful. His life-giving power lives in them and makes them his children, so they cannot keep on sinning.
Sing praises to the Lord!
Tell about his miracles.
