Light
Gather your family together in a cozy space of your home and light a candle to represent God’s promise of Jesus. Read the Messianic prophecies of Isaiah we’ve studied so far (Isaiah 9:1-7 and 42:1-9) and sing “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel.”
Consider how Israel waited on the Lord and thank Him for the promise fulfilled in Jesus.
