Jesus
Advent officially ends on Dec. 24 because Dec. 25 the waiting is over! But here’s one additional activity for the name above all names—Jesus—to help you celebrate the birth of our Savior.
Ask your children if they know who picked their names. Explain that names are special, and when we hear our names spoken, it grabs our attention. Some people are named after family members. An angel told Joseph that the baby who would be born to Mary should be called “Jesus,” which means “the Lord saves.” God picked the names Jesus to show that He would save people from their sins. Today is a day of celebration after waiting all the days of Advent.
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."
