Hide coins around the house. Next, create a “jail” by cutting openings in a box or turning a laundry basket upside down. Place one of your child’s favorite toys or stuffed animals in the jail. The have your child search the house for the coins. Give clues to find the coins, if necessary. When they find all the coins, they can choose to buy freedom for the toys or keep the money.
As a result of sin, we become prisoners to our evil desires and behaviors. Jesus came to offer Himself in exchange for our freedom. He gave His life to buy us out of our prison of sin—to become our Redeemer. His life turned out to be exactly what we needed to redeem us.

About this Plan
As Matthew 20:28 tells us, "the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Families can follow Christ's example by serving others. For each day of Advent, we have found scripture and a family activity or conversation to talk about and show what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so that we may all "Know Him By Name."
