“The Birthday Party,” part 2

“…a Savior was born for you.  He is Christ the Lord.”  Luke 2:11 (CEV)

 We find the birthday boy attempting conversation with different friends who are busy playing party games.  The guests ignore the birthday boy and are caught up in themselves and in their activity.

 It would be sad to think that this boy’s friends were so busy trying to plan a party for him that they didn’t have any time to really spend with him.  Do you think he would be able to enjoy his birthday very much?  (Allow for response). 

We can’t forget that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday.  Sometimes we get so busy planning Christmas parties and thinking about presents that we forget about talking to Jesus and spending time with Him.  Today’s power point says, spend time with Jesus on His birthday.  (Have the children repeat the power point after you).  Spend time with Jesus by worshiping Him–doing what’s right and telling Him how wonderful He is.  Spend time with Him by praying to Him and asking Him for what you need.  Let’s make sure we spend time with Jesus on His birthday.
