Children's Message About Light

Jim Green started the children's message by standing over in the bright sun and warming himself up.  He asked the kids why the sun feels so good.  "It's warm!" And then he asked them about how it is in the middle of the night when they have to get up to go the bathroom and it's really dark and a long way down the hall - do they feel better when they turn on the light? "Yes!"
"That's how it is with light - it warms us up, gets rid of the darkness - and you know who is even brighter and more powerful than the sun?"
"Jesus!"
"That's right," said Jim. "Jesus is the light of the world. Ron is teaching us through the gospel of John, and in John it says, 'The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.'
"So," said Jim, "Next time you turn on a light or enjoy the sun, you remember who is the light of the world: Jesus."
