Exploring Who Christ Is During AdventSampel

Jesus

Advent officially ends on Dec. 24 because on 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 name Jesus to show that He would save people from their sins. Today is a day of celebration after waiting all the days of Advent.
