SAY: The Bible says that the world is full of darkness. This isn’t the kind that keeps you from seeing physically but is a spiritual darkness. Anyone who doesn’t know Christ, the Bible says, is in darkness and is blinded to the things of God. This is the reason that people who have never received Christ have trouble understanding the things of God. ASK: Who is the light of the world? SAY: The Bible says that Jesus is the light of the world. Listen to what Jesus said in John 8:12 Read John 8:12 ASK: What do you think the verse means, that Jesus is the light of the world? SAY: Jesus brings truth into the darkness. His light is the light of life because He is the only way to have life. Light also shows the way and Jesus is the only way to have life and to go to Heaven. The Bible says that He is the way the truth and the life (John 14:6). ASK: What are ways that the world lives in darkness? What can we do as a family to help us live in the light instead of the darkness? What are ways that our family can walk more closely with Jesus? Take prayer requests and PRAY with and for your family.
