BLESSED REDEEMER


During the evening while KING HEROD slept, three MAGI

crossed into Bethlehem on their CAMELS.



The MAGI had followed a bright STAR for many miles. And

now it remained high above this small village. Their CAMELS

were excited as they walked across the dusty street.



Before them was a stable, bathed in brightness from

the STAR, unmoving as if waiting for something special to

take place.



A Father watched proudly as the baby’s Mother caressed her

newborn tenderly.


WHAT CHILD IS THIS? sung by (Pastor Gerry Bezanson).

The CAMELS stirred anxiously. PIDGEONS saluted with their

soft sounds. COWS impatiently swung their necks. And a

DONKEY let loose with a scream of happiness.



Everyone knew the baby was blessed. And that the world

would never be the same again.


SILENT NIGHT sung by (Harold Dorrington).


Ending by Narrator:
Yes, this baby’s name was Jesus. As he grew up he would

also be called -- Blessed Redeemer -- Lion of Judah –

Immanuel – Saviour – Healer -- Prince of Peace -- The Great

I Am - and King of Kings.

The End
