«Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you.» Isaiah 60:1
Have you ever experienced being in the dark without a light on? You can’t see anything, can you? Then, when you turn on the light, everything becomes clear.
Because of sin, the world became like a dark room with the light turned off. By turning away from God, people started to do only their own will, and to go against the will of God. People tend to fight, to treat others poorly, to take what is not theirs.
So, Jesus invites everyone who wants to, including children, to be His friends. He wants His friends to be like a light. These “light-friends” should speak about the love and will of Jesus to others. In this way, the world will no longer be dark because of evil. Do you want to be a light for Jesus?
Let’s practice!
Draw a beautiful light and put your name under it. Ask Jesus to help you be a light in the world.
