Understanding Christmas

There are so many other Christmas curriculums for kids. Why do we need another one? Great Question There is so much more to the Christmas story than most children ever hear about. The power of the story lies in understanding the backdrop of bringing mankind to that unique moment in God's timetable-the birth of Jesus.Too often adults assume children cannot understand or do not care about things like the prophecies behind the story, or the meanings of the wise men's gifts. We just assume all they are capable of handling is the surface details - the basic story itself.We wanted to give children as much of the details as possible, for one big reason-to help them realize the profound prophetic, fascinating truths that resulted in the birth of Christ. We want them to walk away from these lessons knowing that Christ's birth was not an accident, not coincidence, and not just a good story. We want them to see that it was proof that God's Word was real, and can be trusted.We want them to understand Jesus' birth was a part of God's bigger plan for mankind, and was an intricate part of His top secret Plan of Salvation. It's important they are able to tie what the Old Testament prophets had to say to the details, to show how well-planned it really was. All of this is to deepen their faith in their God, His son, and the book we call the Bible.5 Unique Prophetic Lessons Lesson 1: Understanding Why He CameLesson 2: Understanding Who He WasLesson 3: Understanding the PropheciesLesson 4: Understanding His Birth LessonLesson 5: Understanding the Wise Men's GiftsIncluded is a Special Christmas Play Bonus Packet of Lesson AidsMultiple Object Lessons Ideas
