Read the Scripture (2-3 minutes): Don’t just read it. Advent means “coming” or “waiting.” When we’re really excited about something that’s coming, we say, “I can’t wait.” What are some things we say “I can’t wait" about? (Birthdays, Guests, Vacations, Presents, Christmas, etc.) Celebrating advent is a way of saying “I can’t wait” for Jesus to come.

Today, we will introduce our children to the Light who has come to shine in the darkness, and we will challenge them to look for and wait for him in worship. Here are our keys learning objectives for this lesson. The prophet Isaiah describes the fallen world as a place of darkness into which the light of Jesus would come to shine. The Bible tells us that ever since sin came into the world the whole world has been waiting for Jesus to come and bring redemption both to his people and the fallen world (Romans 8:18-25). He was a king and a warrior that was coming to set them free from their sins. Advent simply means “coming” or “waiting.” For many, many years, God’s people were eager to meet Jesus. The Big Idea (An Introduction for the Teacher and Worship Leader): For a long time, Christians have celebrated the weeks before Christmas with a season known as advent.
