Lesson Goal: The children will learn that we should focus on
Jesus instead of ourselves. Selfishness only causes problems.
Main Point: Christmas is About Jesus; It Is Not About Me!

Bible Story: Christmas through the eyes of the Wise Men. (Matthew
2:1-12)
Bible Verse: “Furthermore, we have seen with our own eyes
and now testify that the Father sent his Son to be the Savior of the world.” 1
John 4:14 (NLT)
Family Activity:
Read The Bible Story Together: Wise Men (Matthew 2:1-12)
Discuss why the wise men did not return to King Herod.
All About Jesus
God’s plans are
greater than our plans. Herod was the King of Israel and should have been glad
to hear that the Messiah was coming. The Wise Men thought at first that King
Herod would know all about Jesus. But Herod was too proud to worship Jesus. We
need to focus on and worship Jesus in all circumstances. As a family, make a
poster. On one side of the poster, make a list of ways your children make
Christmas all about them. On the other side of the poster, write down how they
could make it all about Jesus instead. For instance, they might write down “I
get presents.” Instead, the focus should be on Jesus being the greatest present
of all.
Encourage your children to remember the best
part of Christmas: Jesus!
See you next Sunday!!
