The Twelve Days of Christmas

Celebrating Twelve Names of Christ

by Deborah Wuehler

Welcome to the annual 12 Days of Christmas column! This year, we will look at twelve names of Christ as we celebrate His birth, death, and resurrection through those very names. All twelve names are truthful and perfect, as they give us a picture of the redemption of mankind through our Savior, Jesus Christ. This name is no ordinary name; rather, it is a name fit for a King, and rightly so. Join us as we take a look at Who this baby was, Who He is, and why we worship Him in this holiday season and every season of our lives. This year, we turn our focus to Jesus and all that His names represent.

1. Wonderful
2. Counselor
3. Mighty God
4. The Everlasting Father
5. The Prince of Peace
6. Emmanuel: God With Us
7. A Savior: Christ the Lord
8. Jesus
9. The Lamb of God
10. The Light of the World
11. The Good Shepherd
12. The Alpha and Omega

Wonderful

Jesus’ birth was full of wonder: Mary wondered at what the angel said, the people wondered at what the shepherds said, and the king wondered at what the wise men said. It was something to wonder at—God was made manifest in the flesh!

He was wonderful in His birth. He was wonderful in His life. He did many wonders. People were filled with wonder at His sayings.

His death was a marvelous thing, full of wonder as the people experienced darkness, felt the earthquake, saw the veil of the temple torn, and witnessed the Lamb of God take on their sin. His death was wonderful as it brought us life.

His Resurrection was full of wonder; it was not only a miraculous sight but also a marvelous victory over death and the grave. Jesus revealed His wonderful love for us as He became our wonderful Savior!

And all these things are wonderful because He is Wonderful. It’s Who He is, and it’s what He does:

Kids’ Corner

Make a scroll that displays the words of Isaiah 9:6. You can shorten the verse for younger children and use the phrase “His Name Shall Be Called Wonderful!” Take a long, thin piece of paper and write the Scripture in the middle of the paper in your best writing, decorating with paint, markers, etc. Roll the paper inward on each side and stop before reaching the verse. Glue or tape the rolled edge in place on each side. Glue or tape ribbon onto the back of the scroll for hanging, or glue a piece of cardboard (the same size as the scroll) and then a large magnet to the back of the scroll.

Counselor

The Hebrew word for counselor in this text is yaats, and it has several meanings, mainly “advise well, consult, give counsel, determine, devise, and guide.”¹

“This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts, which is wonderful in counsel, and excellent in working.” (Isaiah 28:29)

“O Lord, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.” (Jeremiah 10:23)

“If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.”(James 1:5–6)

“Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.”(John 6:68)

“Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding; If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as for hid treasures; then shalt thou understand the fear of the Lord, and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.” (Proverbs 2:3–6)

“In whom [Christ] are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”(Colossians 2:3)

Blindfold one of the children and then secretly assign another child to be “the counselor.” Mom spins the blindfolded child, and then the “counselor” gives the blindfolded child verbal directions leading to a designated spot in the room. All at the same time, the rest of the family will tell the blindfolded child random directions leading nowhere. The blindfolded child has to guess which child was the true “counselor.” The object of the game is for the blindfolded child to discern who was giving him wise counsel and who was not. Talk about the fact that Jesus is a true counselor and we need to listen for His voice among all the other voices of the world.

The Mighty God

Mary knew that her God was a mighty God. As the Son of this mighty God was in her womb, she proclaimed His might and worshiped Him. She realized that He Who was mighty was doing mighty things even within her:

“For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; and holy is his name.”(Luke 1:49)

Just like Mary, we, too, may know the Almighty God, the Creator and Sustainer of all things; He is the One Who gives us His strength in our weakness—just as Isaiah and Jeremiah proclaimed:

To whom then will ye liken me, or shall I be equal? saith the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth. . . . Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. (Isaiah 40:25–31)

“Ah Lord God! behold, thou hast made the heaven and the earth by thy great power and stretched out arm, and there is nothing too hard for thee: . . . the Great, the Mighty God, the Lord of hosts, is his name.”(Jeremiah 32:17–18)

The mighty God of Isaiah and Jeremiah and Mary is the same mighty Christ Who can live within us:

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”(Philippians 4:13)

“My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.”(2 Corinthians 12:9)

Children can guess how many times the word mighty is used in the Bible and write down their guesses. Have the older ones look in a Bible concordance (such as Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible) and see who was closest to the actual number. Do the same with the word almighty. Have the older ones identify a favorite verse that includes the word mighty or almighty and find it in the Bible to read aloud to all.

Younger kids: Sing “Jesus Loves Me” or “My God Is So Big, So Strong, and So Mighty” and talk about how weak we are and how strong God is. Next, try to hold up a full milk jug with your arm extended straight out from your body. Talk about how hard it is for us to hold up the milk jug, but point out that God holds the whole earth together with His power. Sing “He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands.”

The Everlasting Father

C.H. Spurgeon once preached this about Jesus, the Everlasting Father: “Jesus always was, he always is, he always shall be. He is eternal in all his attributes, and in all his offices, and in all his might, and power, and willingness to bless, comfort, guard, and crown his chosen people. Generation makes us the sons of Adam; regeneration acknowledges us as the sons of Christ.”²

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.”(Psalm 90:2)

“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God . . . .”(John 1:1)

If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works. Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me . . . .(John 14:7–11)

Make cards with the names of Jesus to place around the house or to string above a doorway or mantel. You can download some of the names from Isaiah 9:6, including Everlasting Father, here: http://www.juliabettencourt.com/download/namesofgod.pdf. You can decorate these cards by printing them on cardstock and then cutting them and gluing them on top of another, slightly larger, piece of cardstock of a different color. Add loops of ribbon and then string them together with a cord and hang.

The Prince of Peace

There is a peace that comes from knowing God and His Son, the Prince of Peace. This is a peace that the world cannot give, nor can it attain. This peace is completeness, a soundness of soul and spirit. It is a condition of the inner man and is not related to his outer circumstances.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” (John 14:27)

Jesus came with a name that only He could fulfill: the Prince of Peace. He came to bring peace between God and man and to restore what sin had separated. Truly, this is a peace that is everlasting in its scope and eternal in our hearts.

Even the hosts of heaven knew that to know God’s Son was to know peace. They saw that this earth was about to be blessed with the Prince of Peace as they sang for the shepherds the night their Savior was born: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.” (John 2:14)

The dove is a universal symbol of peace. The reason for this goes back to Genesis, when a dove was released from the ark and returned with good news of dry land. The reason for this goes all the way up to the book of Luke, when the Holy Spirit, like a dove, descended upon Jesus as He was baptized, where His Father proudly proclaimed His Son as His own.

“And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; and the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth.”(Genesis 8:10–11)

“And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon him, and a voice came from heaven, which said, Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased.”(Luke 3:23)

Do a unit study on the dove. There are so many fascinating aspects of dove life. Check out this website for information on all types of birds: www.birds.cornell.edu, or go to your local library and look for Peterson Field Guides about birds in your area (or visit www.houghtonmifflinbooks.com/peterson). With the help of this video, older children can make an amazing origami paper dove whose wings can flap: www.metacafe.com/watch/581013/amazing_origami_flying_dove.(Supervise children as they visit this website.)

Emmanuel: God With Us

The eternal, all-powerful, creator God coming to dwell with us . . . so much meaning is packed in this one powerful word: Emmanuel.

The prophet Isaiah proclaimed this future event, which was fulfilled in that baby born in Bethlehem; His name is Jesus. This baby was, and is, the living God made manifest in human flesh as He came and dwelt among us:

“Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”(Isaiah 7:14)

“And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” (John 1:14)

The popular Christmas song, “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” written by Charles Wesley in 1739, talks of Jesus our Emmanuel in the following stanza, which proclaims the incredible truth that God became man and was born of a virgin and lived among us:

Christ by highest heaven adored;

Christ the everlasting Lord!

Late in time behold Him come,

Offspring of the virgin’s womb:

Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;

Hail th’ Incarnate Deity!

Pleased as man with men to dwell,

Jesus, our Emmanuel.

Find all the songs you know with the word Emmanuel in them,and copy them to make a mini song book for everyone. Your book could include these: “O Come, O Come Emmanuel,” “Emmanuel (His Name Is Called Emmanuel),” “Hark the Herald Angels Sing,” “O Little Town of Bethlehem.” Include pages that list the Scripture passages above, one on each page. Have the children make a cover for their own books, with their original artwork “illuminating” the word Emmanuel on the front. Look up the history and the how-tos for the beautiful art of illuminating text here: http://www.fcps.edu/DIS/OHSICS/FineArts/pdfs/Illuminations1.pdf. Then hold an “Emmanuel Night” in which the whole family sings all the “Emmanuel” songs and reads the Scriptures by candlelight.

A Savior: Christ the Lord

God has revealed Himself to us through His Son. Jesus is God incarnate and has come to show us what God is like. Let’s break down the above verses and see what we can find here:

The first thing the angel says is, “Fear not! ”The shepherds were very frightened at the appearance of the angel, but the words from the angel, calming their fears, easily apply to us today. Jesus came to take away the anxiety of our hearts through His gift of redemption. Our hopes and fears are met in Him, as this Christmas carol says:

O little town of Bethlehem, how still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep the silent stars go by.
Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light;
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight.

(Words by Phillips Brooks, 1867)

The angel then said he was bringing “good tidings of great joy.” What was this tiding of good news? God sent His Son into the world to save sinners. There is now great joy for mankind because the penalty for our sin has been taken care of by Jesus, our Savior, and we are now reconciled to God through Him.

“For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (1 Timothy 2:3–5)

• Finally, the verse in Luke chapter 2 says that “unto you is born this day . . . a savior, which is Christ the Lord.” No wonder the angels then sang, and we can now sing, “Glory to God in the highest!”

Put on a play about Luke chapter 2. Mom or an older child reads the chapter aloud while the kids mime or play the parts of each character. Let the kids dress up as Joseph and Mary, the shepherds, the angels, and even the sheep. Give each child a short line to recite. Practice several times so you can perform for Dad and/or any relatives who come over. Older children can film the play, edit to add music, titles, etc. and put it all on a DVD as a gift for anyone who comes over during the holidays.

Jesus

Come, thou long-expected Jesus,

Born to set thy people free;

From our fears and sins release us;

Let us find our rest in thee.

(“Come, Thou Long-Expected Jesus” by Charles Wesley, 1744)

The name of Jesus is the most popular and recognized name in history. His name has been mocked by the world for centuries, yet at the same time, it has been worshiped by His children from the beginning of time. But there will come a day when the knee of every man, woman, and child will bow before that highly exalted Name:

This highly exalted Jesus exchanged His crown of glory for a crown of thorns. He exchanged a royal throne for a bloody cross. He emptied himself that He might ever fill us with Himself. He came to earth to die for us because of His great love for the world.

“Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.”(Philippians 2:5–8)

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”(John 3:16)

Make a mini ornament of Jesus in a manger: Find an empty half of a walnut and fill the bottom of the walnut with Spanish moss. Glue a very small wooden ball on the inside edge of one side of the walnut—this will represent baby Jesus’ head. Wrap a cotton ball in a piece of muslin and glue in place for the body. Place the body under the wooden head, gluing in place (a hot glue gun works best, but this step must be supervised by adults). Have the children draw the face of Jesus with a thin-line permanent marker. Glue a small piece of gold pipe cleaner on the top of Jesus’ head for a halo. Glue red, green, or gold ribbon onto the top of the walnut for hanging or for placing on top of gifts, or leave as is to put on the holiday food table in front of each guest’s plate as a mini gift.

The Lamb of God

John spoke of Jesus as the One who would do away with the Old Testament sacrificial system, by becoming the last and final sacrifice for sin.

Prophecies about the coming Lamb of God are scattered throughout the Old Testament. Perhaps the most well known Old Testament account that portrays the coming Lamb of God is that of Abraham and Isaac, found in Genesis 22. God commands Abraham to sacrifice his “son of promise,” Isaac, upon an altar. Abraham demonstrates his obedience by fully carrying out God’s instructions—almost. Just before Abraham strikes the death blow to his beloved son, God provides a substitute, even as Jesus was the substitute for each of us when He willingly laid down His life and bore our punishment, even unto death:

And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together … And (Isaac) said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering? And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together. And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood. And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son. And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I. And he said, “Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me. And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns; and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burn offering in the stead of his son. (Genesis 22:6–13)

God sent Jesus to die in our place so that our relationship with God, which had been forfeited as a result of Adam and Eve’s rebellion in the Garden of Eden, could be restored. As a result of the death and resurrection of the Son of God, the name of every man, woman, boy, and girl who receives the gift of salvation will be written in “the Lamb’s book of life.” (Revelation 21:27; see also Revelation 13:8)

Instructions for crafting a “cotton ball sheep,” along with a variety of additional “sheep” crafts, can be found at this website address: http://www.daniellesplace.com/html/sheepcrafts.html.

Sing “Father Abraham,” with hand motions. There are several versions of this song on YouTube.³ With each verse of the song that is sung, a new motion is added: right arm, left arm (swing arms, bent at the elbow, backward and forward); left foot, right foot (march in place); chin up; turn around . . . sit down!

The Light of the World

Jesus came to bring the light of life into the world, which was lost in darkness as a result of sin. There are many verses depicting Jesus as the light of the world; here are a few:

“The people which sat in darkness saw great light . . . .” (Matthew 4:16)

“And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.” (John 1:5)

“I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.” (John 12:46)

“As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.” (John 9:5)

Jesus has given us His light for a purpose: that we would let it shine from our hearts and lives and give light to others, to draw them to the Light of the World, too:

“For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.” (Ephesians 5:8)

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should show forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.” (I Peter 2:9)

“But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.” (John 1:9)

Help your children cut strips of red and green construction paper approximately 1" x 8", and then instruct them to carefully write the verses listed above on those strips, with a pencil or black marker. The older children (or parents) can then help the younger children trace over the letters with glue (an Elmer’s glue bottle with a tip works well) and sprinkle fine gold or silver glitter on top of the glue-covered words. Let the strips dry.

When it is dark outside, gather the family and hand out the strips of paper to each person, and also hand each person a flashlight. Turn off all the lights, and one at a time, let each person turn on his flashlight and read his or her Scripture verse from the strip of paper in his hand. Discuss how one small light effectively dispels the darkness and attracts attention. Talk about how our lives are to do the same thing: shatter the darkness and draw others to the Light of Christ. Close with a time of prayer, asking the Lord to show you how to share His love with your friends and neighbors. Then loop the red and green strips together to form a colorful paper chain to decorate your mantel or a doorway, as a reminder that Jesus is the Light of the World.

The Good Shepherd

Jesus, our Good Shepherd, not only takes care of His sheep, but He also paid the redemption price to call them His own—those who have received eternal life through His blood. All of us sheep have “gone astray.” However, Jesus rescued us by perfectly fulfilling His Father’s will through His death.

“All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.” (Isaiah 53:6)

Many Scriptures speak of us as sheep and of Jesus as our Good Shepherd. Psalm 23, possibly the most famous Psalm in the Bible, describes the Lord as our shepherd, as do many other passages, including these:

“I [Jesus] am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known of mine.” (John 10: 14)

“Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant.” (Hebrews 13:20)

“As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.” (John 10:15)

An excellent resource that provides guidance and helpful Bible study questions as a child and his parents memorize Psalm 23 can be found at this website: http://www.scribd.com/doc/12306043/The-LORD-is-My-ShepherdBible-Study-for-68-Year-Olds.

Make a shepherd’s staff: Purchase a candy cane for each member of the family. Let each person wrap his or her candy cane (large or small) with strips of leather, burlap, suede fabric, or twine, to make it look like a shepherd’s staff. Ask each person to neatly print Psalm 23:1–2 on a small piece of white cardstock, or you can find the verse on stickers in Christian bookstores. Using a hole punch, punch the upper corners of the verse card. Use a piece of brightly colored ribbon to tie both the shepherd’s staff and the verse card together.

Have a sheep hunt. First, read Matthew 18:12–14, Jesus’ parable of a good shepherd and his lost sheep. Next, count out a specific number of cotton balls(e.g. 10, 20, 50, etc.).Secretly hide all the cotton balls. Tell your family you have hidden the cotton balls, which represent sheep. All family members have been appointed as shepherds, and it is their job to find all of the sheep. If all the sheep can be found, the family will celebrate with a prearranged reward. Discuss what you learned from the parable and the sheep hunt and how Jesus our Good Shepherd takes good care of us—every single one of us!

The Alpha and Omega

Several verses in the book of Revelation declare this title for the Lord, including Revelation 21:6:“And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.”

Alpha (A) is the English translation of the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Omega(Ω) designates the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Jesus Christ holds the title “Alpha and Omega” because He is the beginning and the end, meaning He is eternal: He always has been, and He always will be.

Jesus Christ fulfilled all the Law and all of the prophecies about the coming Messiah. Through Christ, God’s plan has been successfully completed: “The kingdoms of this world are become the kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign forever and ever.” (Revelation 11:15b)

Jesus also declared himself to John on the isle of Patmos with this title:

“I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last . . . .” (Revelation 1:11)

When John saw the Lord Jesus Christ in His beauty and majesty and holiness, he “fell at his feet as dead.” (Revelation 1:17) Then the Lord laid His right hand upon John and said, “Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive forevermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death. (Revelation 1:17–18)

An acrostic is “a series of lines or verses in which the first, last, or other particular letters when taken in order spell out a word, phrase, etc.”⁴ The Bible contains approximately twelve acrostics, including Psalm 119, which features a particular letter of the Hebrew alphabet in each of its subsections.⁵ Individually or as a family, create acrostics with the words Alpha and Omega. List the letters of these words vertically, and regard each letter as the first letter of a word that describes Jesus. Example:

Awesome All-powerful Omnipotent

Love Never-ending Merciful

Perfect Daily meets our needs Enduring

Holy Gracious

Always Amazing

You could display these as you celebrate the birth of the “Alpha and the Omega.”

Explain to your children that the Old Testament was written originally in Hebrew, and the New Testament was written in Greek. Just as they are learning (or have learned) the English alphabet, children in Jesus’ day learned their alphabets as well. Make ornaments by drawing the Greek letters for “alpha” and “omega” on colorful construction paper; decorate with glitter, ribbon, or any variety of craft materials.⁶ Templates for these letters can be found here: http://www.ehow.com/how_4588859_make-greek-letters.html. Using salt dough,⁷ mold an A and an Ω, bake/microwave them, paint them, and display them with festive ribbons or yarns, as a reminder that Jesus is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end!
