ADVENT 2
Invite the children to share experiences
of waiting. Say: Think of a time when you had to wait for something.
Maybe it was for your birthday. Maybe it was for a special trip with your
family. How did you feel during these times of waiting? Allow several
volunteers to share, then ask: Why was it hard to wait? What did you do
while you waited?
Relate the children’s experiences of
waiting to the Jewish people waiting for the Savior. Say: Before Jesus
was born, the Jewish people had been waiting a long time for God to keep his
promise. Do you remember the promise that God made to them? (to send
them a Savior) The people believed that God would keep his promise. What
do you think they did while they waited? (They got ready for his
arrival. They became more and more excited.)
