Memory Verse – “Let your light shine.” Matthew 5:16
Jesus says to let my light shine.
Light of the World • Matthew 5:1-2, 14-16
Jesus said to His friends, “You are the light of the world.” He didn’t mean that they were to be lamps or flashlights. He was trying to explain to them that people could see better in the dark when there was light. And Jesus would like people to see that God loves and cares for them. The best way to do that was for His friends to love everybody and care for them. If they did that, people would see God’s love for them, just like how they could see in the dark with the light.
