Light of the World
Set up simple activities in an uncluttered space. Include tasks such as tying a shoe, writing a word and sorting blocks by color. Dim the lights or use flashlights in a dark room and let your children attempt to complete these tasks. Younger children might want to hold a parent’s hand. Turn on the lights, and let them try again.
Ask your children to compare how it felt to work in darkness versus in the light. Jesus is called the “Light of the World.” He helps us understand things about God in a way we couldn’t clearly understand before, and He makes it possible for us to for us to do the work God wants us to do.
Scripture
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."
