The Saviour is on his way is our second Christmas story in a series of three. We began with, The Saviour is Promised – a Story all about Isaiah and now we meet Mary and the Angel Gabriel. The Bible Story is from Luke 1:26-38 and includes the Angel Gabriel visiting Mary.
If you have told the first story in the series include the four things Isaiah said about the special baby to be born and have an action for each sentence
- A child will be born – rock a pretend baby in your arms
- A Son will be given – point up to heaven and then bring hands down
- He will be King forever – put a pretend crown on your head
- He will bring peace – clasp your hands together

Bible Truth for Toddlers – God keeps his promises
Do you remember Isaiah? He told people what God wanted them to know. He had written down a promise that God had made – God was going to send someone – Isaiah told everyone that…
- A child will be born – rock a pretend baby in your arms
- A Son will be given – point up to heaven and then bring hands down
- He will be King forever – put a pretend crown on your head
- He will bring peace – clasp your hands together
But a long, long time had passed. Days, weeks, months and years and years and years went by. Had God forgotten his promise? No! God never forgets anything!
One day a young woman called Mary was at home. (Say hello to Mary!)It was just an ordinary day. Mary was cleaning the house (some actions here – maybe dusting or sweeping).
But then something extraordinary happened! An angel came to see her! Now angels are not like fairies. Angels are big and strong! (actions here too – make a big shape with your arms and then flex muscles). The angel that came to see Mary was called Gabriel (ask everyone to repeat the name). He had a message from God.
You are going to have a very special baby,’ he said to Mary. ‘This baby will be God’s Son and he will be King forever.’
The Baby was going to be born! rock a pretend baby in your arms
The Son was going to be given! point up to heaven and then bring hands down
He was going to be King forever! put a pretend crown on your head
The Saviour God promised was on his way. God always keeps his promises.
