Lamb of God
Make handprint lambs with your kids. Trace each child’s hand on construction paper, and cut out the shape. The fingers become the legs, and the thumb is the lamb’s head. Glue cotton balls on the body, and color the legs and head. Older kids can write a list of what obedience means in their lives, such as “doing what my parent say” or “doing chores with a good attitude.”
In Old Testament times when people sinned, God accepted a perfect lamb as a sacrifice for their sins. God sent Jesus to be our lamb. People saw lambs as innocent and gentle. Jesus, though He is powerful, chose to be gentle and offer Himself as sacrifice for our sins. He died so we can be forgiven. God no longer requires the blood of lambs. Jesus’ sacrifice covers all sin.

About this Plan
As Matthew 20:28 tells us, "the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Families can follow Christ's example by serving others. For each day of Advent, we have found scripture and a family activity or conversation to talk about and show what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so that we may all "Know Him By Name."
