  • ‭John‬ ‭8‬:‭12‬

    Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, "I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life."


    • Walking in the Light of Faith

      “Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, ‘I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.’” - John 8:12 (NLT)

      Devotion:

      Have you ever been in a dark room and felt a little scared or unsure of where to go? It can be hard to find your way when you can’t see anything. But when someone turns on a light, everything becomes clear and you can see the path ahead.

      In John 8:12, Jesus tells us that He is the light of the world. This means that when we have faith in Jesus and follow Him, we don’t have to walk in the darkness of sin and confusion. Let’s explore what this means and how faith in Jesus brings light to our lives.

          1.    Jesus Is Our Light: Just as a light helps us see in the dark, Jesus helps us understand how to live. He shows us the right way to go and helps us make good choices. When we follow Jesus, He guides us and helps us avoid the things that can harm us or lead us astray.
          2.    Walking in the Light: Walking in the light means living in a way that pleases God. It means loving others, telling the truth, and being kind. When we follow Jesus, we reflect His light to others by our actions and words. It’s like being a little light that shines in the dark, helping others see the goodness of God.
          3.    Faith in Jesus: Having faith in Jesus means trusting Him and believing that He is who He says He is—the Son of God and the Savior of the world. When we have faith, we follow His teachings and rely on His strength. Faith helps us stay close to Jesus, the true light that leads to life.

      Prayer:

      Dear Jesus, thank You for being the light of the world and guiding me every day. Help me to follow You and live in Your light. Show me how to share Your love and light with others so they can see how wonderful You are. Amen.

       

 

  • "The Light of the World" (John 8:12)
    SEEDS OF FAITH Vol 4, Seeds Kids Worship, 2014

 

  • Light of Faith Lantern

    Materials:
    • A clear, clean, empty jar (you don't need the lid)
    • Tissue paper in various colors
    • Glue
    • Paintbrush
    • LED tea light
    • Ribbon or twine
    • Markers

    Instructions:
    1. Decorate the Jar: Tear the tissue paper into small pieces. Use a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of glue to the outside of the jar. Place the tissue paper pieces on the jar, covering it completely. Brush another layer of glue over the tissue paper to seal it in place. Let it dry.
    2. Add a Scripture Label: Cut a small piece of paper and write John 8:12 on it. Attach it to the outside of the jar with glue or tape.
    3. Place the Light Inside: Once the jar is dry, put the LED tea light inside the jar. Turn on the light to see the beautiful colors shine through the tissue paper.
    4. Finish with a Ribbon: Tie a ribbon or twine around the top of the jar.

    Using Your Lantern:
    Place your Light of Faith Lantern in your room as a reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. When you see it, remember to follow Jesus and let His light shine through you. Look up the story of John 8:12. You can even share your lantern with a friend or family member and explain how Jesus guides us and helps us walk in the light.

    Remember, by having faith in Jesus and following Him, we don’t have to walk in darkness. He will show us the way. Let’s keep our eyes on Jesus and shine brightly for Him!
