Summary

📖 Scriptures Referenced Numbers 24:17, Matthew 2:2, Luke 2:11, & John 3:16–17 🐪 Summary In this special Christmas episode, we take a break from our usual Kids Bible Stories format to explore the story of Jesus’ birth from a fresh and cozy perspective—through the eyes of three very curious camels. We begin by helping kids understand an important and often-missed detail of the Christmas story: While the shepherds visited Jesus the night He was born, the Wise Men arrived later, when Jesus was a little older. Even so, everyone who came—shepherds and Wise Men alike—came for the same reason: to worship the Savior God promised. From there, we invite listeners into a gentle imagination story, wondering what it might have been like for the camels who carried the Wise Men’s treasures across deserts, followed the brilliant star, and witnessed the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. As the camels travel beneath the shining star, kids hear Scripture woven throughout the story, including the prophecy of the coming King, the Wise Men’s search for Jesus, and the beautiful truth that the greatest King arrived in humility—not in a palace, but in a manger. The episode closes by reminding listeners that God’s greatest gift is Jesus, sent out of love to rescue and save the world. ----------------------- 🎁 This podcast is free because of the generosity of families like yours.

0:00.0	Hello again and welcome back to Kids Bible Stories. Today's story is called
0:07.0	The Christmas Journey of Three Curious Camels. This comes from Numbers chapter 24,
0:13.8	verse 17, Matthew chapter 2, verse 2, Luke chapter 2, verse 11, and John chapter chapter 3 verses 16 through 17.
0:21.6	Today, we're taking a special break from our normal Kids Bible Stories episodes.
0:27.6	For Christmas, I want to invite you to imagine what it might have been like for three very large,

2:01.6	The sun was just rising over the sandy hills.
2:14.6	When the three camels, Barack, Hamil, and Raffa chewed their breakfast
2:20.7	quietly outside their master's tents.
2:25.7	Barak stretched his long neck and sighed.
2:31.0	Another day of carrying carpets and jars, my back is ready for something more exciting.
