Light makes a difference! It guides our way, helps us see, and gives comfort in the midst of darkness. This lesson reminds kids that we have a light that is always with us: the light of Christ! 1 John tells us that God is light and “in Him is no darkness.” We can rejoice that we walk in the light with Him, and consider how we share His light with those around us, shining in the darkness!

On one hand, this passage seems to be a harsh reminder that we have all sinned, and denying that means “the truth is not in us.” However, the prominent message is that the blood of Jesus cleanses those sins. When we walk in His light, we have fellowship with Him. Jesus is our advocate, speaking on our behalf and even dying on our behalf so that we are considered blameless in God’s eyes. Yes, we do wrong, but that is why Christ died for us. That knowledge brings comfort and hope like a bright light in a dark room!

Passage: 1 John 1:1-2:2
