very bad news of Christmas today, so that you can celebrate even more joyfully its wonderfully good news. For further study: Ephesians 2:1–10 For parents and children: Central theme: Broken Ask your children what we mean when we say something is broken. Ask them if there are any broken things in their lives. Get them to talk about what they think it means when the Bible says that sin has left all of us broken. Then talk to them about the fact that Jesus came because we are broken and we cannot fix ourselves.
