Never stop celebrating Jesus.
We finish up the month in Matthew 2:1-12. Wise Men from the east traveled long and far to meet Jesus. When they saw the star in the sky, they did everything they could to find the promised Savior. It didn’t matter that it took them a while to get to Jesus, because they knew that Jesus was worth celebrating. No matter when or where.
Bottom Line: Never stop celebrating Jesus. After the Christmas decorations come down, it can be easy for kids to assume that the spirit of Christmas gets packed away too. We want kids to realize that they don’t need a fancy holiday to celebrate Jesus. They can celebrate when they sing to Jesus, read the Bible, and show Jesus’ love to others. Jesus can be celebrated anytime and anywhere!
