Questions to Ask Your Child
READ LUKE 2
Who are Joseph and Mary? Where were they going and why?
How was Jesus different than every other baby ever born? (He was fully God and fully man. He lived a pure and perfect life. He was not stained with sin like everyone else.)
Reread verse 11. What amazing news did the angels tell the shepherds? (The angels said that the Savior they had been waiting for was born in Bethlehem.) Why do you think the news was so amazing?
Look at verses 16-17. How would you feel if you were a shepherd and heard this news? What did the shepherds do after the angels left? (They went to find Jesus and then told everyone about what happened!)
Activity
Spend time as a family thanking God for coming to earth as a baby and living a pure life so He could be a perfect sacrifice for you. Thank Him for the work He has done and continues to do in your life. Ask Him to give you chances to share His amazing news, just like shepherds did the first Christmas.
