What is Christmas really about?
As simple as this question may seem, how well do your children understand the miracle of Jesus’s birth and why the Christmas story centers on Him? We created this year’s family Advent devotional to help your children not only understand but celebrate Jesus as Immanuel—God with us.
Throughout this resource, we will answer common (and sometimes silly!) questions that your child likely has about Jesus’s birth, life, death, and resurrection—questions such as:
-If Jesus’s home is in heaven, why did He leave?
-Who is the Messiah?
-Why did God’s angels appear to shepherds?
...And more!
This resource will:
- Help your family slow down from holiday busyness and re-center Jesus as the reason for the season!
- Expand your family’s knowledge of Christ and spark gratitude for God’s love for us
- Engage your children in the joy of celebrating Jesus with fun, interactive activities.
More Than a Manger: How Every Detail of the Christmas Story Points to the Messiah is a four-week devotional that will walk your family through the Advent season with daily devotions and reflection questions, as well as weekly candle-lighting days and memory verses. More Than a Manger also includes fun weekly activities like recipes, crafts, and sticker pages to cultivate intentional family time with your kids.
This devotional is for any family wishing to focus their attention on Christ this Christmas. It also pairs perfectly with this year’s adult Advent study—Just as He Promised: How the Birth of Jesus Proves God Keeps Every Promise He Makes—from The Daily Grace Co.!
