Lesson 1: The Star
Christmas is about Jesus. He came to save this world, and all creation rejoices and worships him.
Sing: Joy to the World
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
let ev’ry heart prepare him room
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n and nature sing,
and heav’n, and heav’n and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ,
while fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat the sounding joy,
repeat, repeat the sounding joy.
Read: Galatians 4:4, Psalm 98:4-9
Are you excited for Christmas? What are you most excited about?
Have you heard nature make a joyful noise? Dogs bark and cats meow. Birds and whales sing. Even trees rustle in the wind, and rivers and oceans make a lot of noise. The Bible tells us that all of these noises are a song of praise to God!
Joy to the World reminds us all creation worships God together and celebrates. At Christmas, we aren't just worshiping God. We are also celebrating that Jesus was born. When all creation was ready, at just the right time, Jesus was born.
Jesus IS God. He came to the earth as a little baby, as part of creation, just like all of us. But he came for a big purpose, to save us and all creation from sin—all the wrong, bad things that we do, or have ever happened.
When we celebrate Christmas we are worshiping God our King. We are shouting for joy, along with the mountains and rivers, the oceans, and the animals. We are worshiping Jesus, our Savior.
Pray: Jesus, thank you for coming to us as our savior. Thank you for making this big beautiful world. We worship you!
