Connect the Dots
Hi kids! Christmas is just a few weeks away— how exciting! What are your plans for the holidays? I want to visit family and friends, drink hot chocolate, watch holiday movies and attend the Christmas Eve service at church. Maybe you plan to do the same. Maybe you want to try a sleigh ride, singing carols or building the world’s largest snowman! God has plans for us, too. Although I’m sure God loves watching us build snowmen and having fun, He has even bigger plans. In this issue of Just for Kids, you will read about God’s promise to send Jesus to earth.

long time ago, the nation of Judah felt powerless. As their enemies grew strong around them, they thought God had forgotten about them. They lived in fear that a bad king might rule one day and treat them poorly. They wanted a good king. God sent His messenger, Isaiah, to tell the people of Judah that the best king of all was going to be born one day for them. He would be unlike any other king that had ever reigned on earth. The king would be God’s own Son, Jesus Christ. God had a plan for His people, and His greatest plan of all was Jesus.
