Holy and Righteous One
Read through the moral dilemmas in “What Will You Do? Scenarios.” (Search “Scenarios” at ThrivingFamily.com.) Ask your children what they would do in these situations. For example, if their friends tease an unpopular child, how would they react? When they choose well, explain that Jesus may have done the same thing. If they choose poorly, explain that Jesus felt pressure to make wrong choices when He was on earth, but He chose to do what was right—even as a child.
Jesus is called the “Holy and Righteous One” because His heart is pure and everything He does is right. When we’re motivated to do what is right because of our love of God, we are doing what Jesus did. His desire to do what the Father wanted far outweighed any temptation.

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."
