Lion of the Tribe of Judah
Listen to a free audio clip from the Radio Theatre drams The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. (Search Help From the Beavers” on ThrivingFamily.com) Mr. Beaver says that Aslan, the lion who symbolizes Jesus, is not safe, but He is good.
Jesus is the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Lions are strong and courageous—even ferocious—but Jesus always uses His power for good. Jesus’ earthly family was part of a bigger family (a tribe) known as “Judah,” named for one of Jacob’s 12 sons. People were expecting a savior, the Messiah, to come from this family. The Lion of the Tribe of Judah may not be “safe,” but He is good. How do you think you will feel when you meet Him?

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."
