WEEK 2 LESSON: December 8, 2024
G2K: God sent Jesus at the perfect time!
Memory Verse: Luke 1:46,47 - “My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.”
Bible Lesson: Zechariah, Elizabeth, and John: Luke 1:5-25, 57-66; Malachi 3:1-4
WEEKLY CHALLENGE: This week, we talked about how God sent Jesus at the perfect time! Sometimes, we have to wait for the things God has promised. That doesn’t mean that God forgets about us. God invites us to be patient and wait on God’s timing. After all, God sent Jesus at the perfect time, and he was worth the wait! To reinforce this lesson, use this activity.
Instructions: For this activity, give your child four craft sticks and a quarter sheet of black construction paper that they can use to make a tablet. Have them glue on the sticks to form a frame around the paper. Then, decorate the frame with Christmas-themed stickers, and write today’s Good to Know inside. You could also paint small pieces of thin cardboard or wood with chalkboard paint in advance for kids to decorate and use pieces of chalk instead.
When Zechariah wrote, “His name is John” on a tablet, he was finally able to speak after months of silence. This showed that he truly believed his baby was a gift from God, and everything the angel said about what John would grow up to do was true! Our tablets can help us remember to be patient because God’s timing is always perfect!
FAMILY TIME: Use these questions to start a conversation with your children about this week’s lesson.
Read Malachi 3:1. Why did God plan to send a messenger before the savior?
Why is waiting for what you want so difficult?
What can you do to remind yourself to wait more patiently because God’s timing is perfect?
