ADVENT WITH CHILDREN by Candice Duffy

Day 8
The Rising Sun 
Today's scripture passage was Luke 1:57-80. We learned today that John, the baby Elizabeth was going to have, would be a very special baby. He would have an important job of preparing the way for Jesus. Jesus is described as the "rising sun" coming from heaven to "shine on those living in darkness." We talked about what else we had heard about Jesus being described as a light. They knew right off that on Day 1 we learned that Jesus is the light of the world according to Isaiah. The very reason we needed Christmas, that we needed Jesus to come, is because we live in darkness. He is the only light that can break through the darkness of sin in our world.
