Shepherd on the Search Advent Devotions for FamiliesSample

The Greatest Gift

Have you ever received a gift you’d been hoping to receive for a long time…or given a gift you knew would make someone else really happy? God knew the right gift to give the world that first Christmas—Jesus. He is the perfect gift for us! When we are feeling weak He is mighty. When we feel alone He is Immanuel which means ‘God with us.’ When we feel hopeless He is our hope, and when we feel lost He is the way. It doesn’t matter what the question is, Jesus is the answer. He is proof that God loves and cares for us deeply. He wants to be involved in our lives, so He sent His Son to become one of us. Christmas is the beginning of God’s forever love story for us!

Discussion Question(s)

• What kinds of things did Jesus experience that are just like things we experience?
• Does it help to know we have a Savior who understands everything about our lives?
