Family Advent Devotional - the Hope of Christmas

24 ನ 7 ದಿನ

Jesus is the Good Shepherd

Activity (Optional)

Hide candy canes around the house and race to find as many as you can OR make a candy cane decoration for the Christmas tree, using red cardboard and white tape.

Devotional

Did you know that candy canes have a special meaning? The candy cane shape looks like a shepherd’s crook–a stick they use to guide their sheep. This reminds us that Jesus is the Good Shepherd. He looks after us and shows us which way to go.

The colors on candy canes have special meaning too. The white represents how pure Jesus was–he never sinned and was perfect. The red reminds us of how Jesus died on the cross for us.

Candy canes and other Christmassy treats and traditions are only available around Christmas time, but the joy, love, and peace that Jesus brings is available to us all year round!

Share

  • What is something you really enjoy that is only available around Christmas time?
  • What is something you’d like to be reminded of all year round? What could be a sign of that?

Pray

Dear Jesus, thank you for being our Good Shepherd, who loves and leads us. When we see candy canes, help us remember who you are and what you have done for us. Amen.
