New Testament Bible Lessons

The Birth of John the Baptist

New Testament Bible Lessons

This course is a series of 42 Bible lessons on the New Testament designed for older (middle school) children. Each lesson is about 20 minutes in length and is taught by a 6th grade Bible teacher from Calvin Christian school in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada. The video portion of each lesson is accompanied by a Lesson Guide containing quizzes and test questions. The Lesson Guide is available in PDF format and can be downloaded or printed out for the student to complete in class. This course is very well suited for both home schools and private Christian schools worldwide, though it is primarily designed for use in a group setting. Parents and teachers can provide additional guidance to supplement these lessons and Bible knowledge tests, if desired. This New Testament course covers the history of the Lord Jesus as delivered to us in the four Gospels and continues through the life of the Apostle Paul from the Book of Acts. The first lesson starts with the days leading up to Christ’s humble birth in Bethlehem. From there, the student will move through the life of Christ, surveying his blessed ministry, his suffering, his death, and his resurrection. Christ’s ascension, bringing his humble life on earth to a close, and the blessed outpouring of the Holy Spirit are taught next. The final lessons examine the calling and ministry of the greatest evangelist that ever lived, Paul the Apostle. A study of Paul’s missionary journeys brings the series to a close. We hope these lessons are a blessing to you.

The Birth of John the Baptist

As we study about the birth of John the Baptist as the forerunner of Christ we need to focus on several remarkable circumstances. His birth to the aged Zacharias and Elizabeth was announced by the angel Gabriel. Although Zacharias was righteous before God he could not believe the message and was dumb until the child was born and named John, which means ‘the Lord is gracious”. As the Lord sent John to prepare the way for the coming of the Saviour, so the Lord needs to prepare our hearts so that Christ may become our Saviour.
