A 15-minute Bible-centered drama that tells the Christmas story by placing Old Testament prophecies and New Testament fulfillment next to each other on stage. One side of the stage becomes “Prophecy,” featuring Isaiah, Micah, David, and other prophets. The other side becomes “Fulfillment,” featuring Mary, Joseph, the angels, shepherds, and wise men. Narrators guide the audience through Scripture connections.

THEME

Christmas is not an isolated story — it is the fulfillment of God’s promises across the entire Bible. Jesus’ birth, life, and mission reveal the unity of Scripture and the depth of God’s plan.
