God sends John the Baptist 12/20's EKIDZ lesson

This past Sunday's EKIDZ lesson was John the Baptist. 
What does John the Baptist have to do with Christmas?

Here are the last 3 week's of EKIDZ lessons
December 6 - God announces the coming Messiah in Genesis 3
December 13 - God announces the coming Messiah in the prophets
December 20 - God prepares the way of the coming Messiah through John the Baptist

Jesus was not an after thought in God's mind.
Jesus was the plan from the beginning.

This week's Memory Verse
While Romans 15:13 is not part of the Christmas story, 
it does speak about hope, joy and peace.  
Major themes at Christmas.
This is not the hope, joy and peace of the world.
It is a hope that is grounded in God and empowered by the Holy Spirit.
It is joy and peace that comes from God and God alone.
