Christmas - The Reason for the Season

O Holy Night

O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining; it is the night of the Dear Savior’s birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining. Till He appeared and the Spirit felt its worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices, for yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices! O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine! O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming, with glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming, now come the wise men from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger; in all our trials born to be our friend.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger, Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!

Truly He taught us to love one another, His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.  And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we, with all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we, His power and glory ever more proclaim!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!

Placide Cappeau de Roquemaure 1847.

God STILL Answers Prayer

Today, It was on my heart to share with you something that I and my family have been going through the past two weeks so that maybe you would be encouraged in your own struggles and valleys. Know that God is there and HE is listening and HE understands your tears. Keep calling out to HIM, TRUSTING and OBEYING what HE commands. HE IS FAITHFUL and HE will never let you down.

- Life of Christ - Lesson 1 - Lost!, by Lisa DeVinney

Author’s Notes: This week we are beginning a new series on the life of Christ, taken from the four New Testament Gospels. In past lessons, we’ve already looked at His birth, the visit from the wisemen, and his family’s flight into Egypt. So we’ll be jumping in, today, at the next Biblically recorded event in the life of Jesus, His visit to the Temple at age twelve. Since He would only have been a little older than most of your students, it should be interesting for them to see how Jesus’ lived when he was about their age.

True or False

1. Jesus’ family celebrated Passover in Jerusalem every year. 
2. Jesus’ parents immediately realized that Jesus was not with them
3. The group traveled an entire day before they realized Jesus was not with them. 
4. When Mary and Joseph could not find Jesus, they returned to Jerusalem to look for Him. 
5. Mary and Joseph found Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. 
6. Jesus said He “must be about His Father’s business.”

Thought for the week

Being lost and separated from our family can be a very scary thing.  But being lost, and separated from God for eternity would be the greatest tragedy of all.  If you have not repented of your sin, and asked Jesus to save you, then you are lost from God.  He describes Himself as a Shepherd searching for His lost sheep.  If that’s you, won’t you consider letting Him find you and bring you into His sheepfold.  Then you will be found, in Him, forever!
