Scripture: Isaiah 11; John 1 Wonder Truth: God Loved us by Sending Jesus ------ Foundational Building Block WHO? Isaiah was a prophet called by God to remind His people that His plan and promises would be fulfilled. From the beginning, God planned for Jesus to be the fulfillment of His promises through the tribe of Judah (God’s people). WHAT? The Word of God spoke everything into existence. The Word of God promised to send a Messiah to save all people. The Word of God was the Messiah and brought light and life to all the world. WHERE? To earth, through the family of Jesse, tribe of Judah, God would send His Son to fulfill the promise of a Messiah. He did this because He loves us and so that we would live for eternity in heaven. WHEN? From the beginning, God’s plan included Jesus. Jesus existed in eternity past, before the creation of time. Jesus became human to enter the boundaries of time to live and die for us. Jesus will exist and reign again outside of time for eternity future. WHY? God knew that Jesus was the only one who could pay for our sins. Because Jesus existed for eternity with God, and was God, He alone would be able to be the perfect sacrifice. Because He loves us, He chose to die for us. ----- Our kids will have many opportunities to explore the nativity story, ask questions about Jesus’ birthday, and celebrate Immanuel—God with us—our baby King throughout their faith journey. But one could argue, even more compelling than the day itself was the long-expected nature of Messiah’s birth. God had promised a King. The prophets had foretold His story. The weeks leading up to Christmas Day can be a time to enjoy the vibrancy of anticipation, to know that something worth waiting for is coming, and yet to wait it out. Isaiah teaches us to measure waiting differently: that waiting with anticipation requires both trust and truth. In this series, kids will celebrate Advent in a new way as they discover the prophecies about Jesus from Isaiah in the Old testament and the fulfillment of those prophecies in the birth of Jesus, as well as the promise of His return. #SundaySchoolCurriculum #ChildrensCurriculum #ChildrensBibleCurriculum #EarlyChildhoodlearning #childrenschurch #childrensministry
