He Shall Come into the World to Redeem His People

Week 52 | December 23 - December 29 | Christmas

Come Follow Me Lessons & Activities for Kids Lesson 52 | December 23-29 | Christmas

From Nephi to Moroni, every prophet in the Book of Mormon shared a singular, sacred purpose: to convince all people that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Some, like Nephi, saw the Savior’s mortal ministry in vision. Others, like Alma the Younger, were witnesses to thousands of His power over sin. Some, like Samuel the Lamanite, proclaimed the signs of His birth and death. And still others, like the Twelve Disciples, felt the wounds in His resurrected body.

All of them knew this eternal truth: “that salvation might come unto the children of men even through faith on his name” (Mosiah 3:9). As we celebrate Christmas and remember the birth of our Savior, let us ponder with our families the personal impact of His coming on our lives. The Book of Mormon can deepen our faith in Christ and help us understand the true meaning of this sacred season.

May we experience the joy of Christmas—the gift of Jesus Christ.

THIS WEEK’S COME FOLLOW ME HIGHLIGHTS​

Elementary Bundle Lessons & Activities​

The lesson for this week is simplified but intentional to focus your thoughts and efforts on the Savior and His birth. We hope you take the time to use the activities provided to incorporate the light of Christ into your lives and into this special season.

Ornament Tree

Go & Do Activity

Use the ornament key and tree activity to reflect on the symbols of Christ. The

ornaments teach about the symbols of Christmas we see all around us at Christmas time. Hold up each ornament as they’re mentioned in the story and place them on the tree. The key is designed to discuss two ornaments a day for the week before Christmas. However, you can do this as a family night activity all in one evening instead. Take time to talk about the names of Christ on each ornament.

Christmas Coloring Page

Scripture Study

Read Helaman 14:5-8 with your family. Discuss the prophecies of Christ’s birth and what things may have amazed you and caused you to wonder as you color the “Jesus Christ was Born to Be My Savior” coloring page.

Graham Cracker Nativity

Hands-On Activity

Gather together as a family to make a graham cracker nativity scene. As you build a stable from the graham crackers and frosting, talk about the story of Christ’s birth and what it might have been like to be there. Reflect on the points of view of all those involved on that starry night. Display your nativity scene where you’ll see it all week, to be reminded of the gift of our Savior.

Toddler Bundle Lessons & Activities​

This week, we’ll be sharing the gospel with your little ones using the activity book in the Elementary Bundle. Be sure to use the activity book for younger children (Level 1, Recommended for ages 3-6). Print your activity book pages, then cut all of them in half, except the cover. You will fold the cover in half to help keep the pages together. Put all your pages in order inside the cover and then staple along the left-hand edge. Make one book for each of your children.

Birthday Party for Jesus!

Go & Do Activity

In honor of Christmas, throw a birthday party for Jesus to celebrate His coming into the world! As you reflect on the Book of Mormon study you have done this year, think about how your life has changed or been blessed because of the birth of our Savior. Start your birthday party by setting the scene and decorating for the special occasion. Hand out the invitations. Hang the “Happy Birthday Jesus Banner!” and make the birthday party hats to wear. Bake and decorate your favorite cake to celebrate, sing “Happy Birthday” and blow out candles! Put a placemat for each person in your family attending at the table. Let your children color the placemats and contemplate what their gift to Jesus this year could be as they enjoy their cake. See lesson for more details.

“Is Any Thing Too Hard for the Lord?”

Abraham and Sarah had a lot to worry about. From infertility and famine to war and the safety of their family, it could have been easy to forget their covenants while focusing on their daily concerns. Yet they showed faith by putting the Lord first each day. As a result of keeping their covenants, they knew the Lord would help them throughout their lives. As Abraham told his son, Isaac, “God will provide” (Genesis 22:8). We should follow Abraham’s example of faith and always put the Lord first.

“To Be a Greater Follower of Righteousness”

Abraham lived a life of violence and peace, of trauma and healing, and of promises and faith. Through every trial, Abraham trusted in the Lord and chose to follow Him even when his world was at its darkest. He was rewarded with a covenant that encompasses all of God’s children and will last into the eternities. This covenant and its blessings are extended to our families today.

“Noah Found Grace in the Eyes of the Lord”

The phrase, “found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Moses 8:27), has at least two meanings that can bless our families. One is that Noah lived in a way that allowed the Lord to strengthen him and his family during difficult circumstances. A second meaning is that Noah discovered the peace that comes from looking at life through God’s eyes. By looking at life with an eternal perspective, Noah “walked with God, as did also his three sons” (Moses 8:27) even in a world filled with wickedness.
