5 Reasons Jesus Had To Come
# 3 To Become Our King
Review Reason # 4 with your family: How Jesus came to undo what Adam had done.
Ask your children about famous kings they have heard about. (fictional ones are alright)
Ask your children what is a king supposed to do? (Help them with this concept).
Remember that God had created Adam and gave him dominion over creation. Adam was sort of like a King. But Adam handed all of that over to Satan and death.
Read 1 Corinthians 15:21-26
Notice in verse 25 – Jesus will be King.
We call Jesus the “Christ” – Christ means “anointed one” (same as Messiah in Hebrew). In the Old Testament the Kings would be anointed by a prophet of God. Jesus being the Christ means that He is our King.
But since Jesus is also God, He is the King of Kings.
Revelation 17:14 says, “These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for He is Lord of lords, and King of Kings; and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful.”
When Jesus comes back again He will come as our great King. And when He comes back death will be destroyed and all who follow Him will live forever.
(Go back and review what a King does for his people. Ask the children how Jesus will do these things as King. Also tell them since Jesus is Kings of Kings, He will do so much more).
Ask your children if they have ever imagined being a prince or princess. Would it be fun to be a prince or princess?
Well guess what, when we accept Jesus as our Lord and King, as our personal Savior, we are adopted into God’s family.
Romans 8:14-15 says, “For as many are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
When we accept Jesus’ sacrifice for us, we are forgiven and then adopted into God’s family. Jesus is our Lord and King, but also our Brother.
And brothers and sisters of the King are princes and princesses. (Make a big deal about having such royalty in your house).
Can you see why we really celebrate Christmas? Jesus did so much for us when He came. (Close in prayer).
