Talk It Over
Christmas: The Shepherds Visit Jesus
Hey parents! Use these questions as a guide to talk over this week’s Bible story about The Shepherds with your child after they’ve watched this week’s Church at Home elementary video. Remember that we can tell Jesus’ story!
- What was your favorite part of the video we just watched?
- What did you learn is the real meaning of Christmas?
That Jesus was born! All of the celebrations at Christmas time – like songs, cookies, and presents – are a celebration of the fact that Jesus was born on the very first Christmas. - Jesus’ birth was a big deal, but it happened a long time ago! Why is Jesus’ birth so important still today?
The Savior Jesus didn’t just come for the people who lived at the time of Jesus’ birth, he came for you! His life on Earth – his birth at Christmas and his death and resurrection at Easter – means that you have the chance to live in Heaven forever with him, too.* That’s why we celebrate this huge moment in history! - What are some ways you can celebrate Jesus’ birth this Christmas?
You can thank Jesus through prayer or by writing him a card for coming to Earth to save us, you can tell him you love him, or you can sing songs of praise to him (lots of Christmas songs are all about Jesus)! Or you can even do fun things like decorate cookies or drink hot chocolate with your family as a way to celebrate what happened on the very first Christmas. - Luke 2:10-11 says, “But the angel reassured them. ‘Don’t be afraid!’ he said. ‘I bring you good news that will bring great joy to all people. The Savior—yes, the Messiah, the Lord—has been born today in Bethlehem, the City of David.’” What names does the angel call Jesus in this Bible verse? What do you think those mean?
Savior, Messiah, and Lord. Savior means that Jesus is the one who came to save us. Messiah means the promised “anointed one” – the special one who God promised would come. And Lord means the one with authority and power. Jesus is all of these amazing things!
