DAY one bible story - WORTH THE WAIT
You know how hard it is to wait a whole year for your birthday?
Can you imagine waiting years....
and years...
and years?
That's what it was like for God's people
The waited and hoped for the promised Messiah to arrive.
And finally the time had come!
The prophet Isaiah said the people would see a great light. And the prophet John said the true light was coming into the world!
That light is JESUS!
Jesus is the light of the world!
Because of Jesus we don't have to live in spiritual darkness anymore.
And because of Jesus, we have the hope of heaven forever!
It doesn't get any better than that!
DIGGING DEEPER
JOHN THE BAPTIST WASN'T THE ONLY ONE TO SAY JESUS IS THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. JESUS SAYS IT HIMSELF! YOU CAN READ IT FOR YOURSELF IN JOHN 8:12 (GO ON, READ IT.)
Here's a fun craft idea:
Cut construction paper to fit a light switch plate in your house. Write "Jesus is the light of the world" on it and decorate any way you want. Tape it to the switch plate - every time you turn on that light, you'll remember Jesus. Cool!
