Children’s Moment for Christmas 2A – 4-Jan-25
4-Jan-25 (John 1:10-18)
Today's gospel lesson is about Jesus being the Light of the World? What are some things that light does? What do we need light for? [Wait for answers]
Yes. Light is useful because it helps us see things clearly. When we say Jesus is the Light of the World, it means that Jesus also helps us to see and to understand things clearly. When we see someone who looks different from us, Jesus helps us to see another child of God whom God also loves. When we see someone who is hurt, Jesus helps us to see someone we can help. When we see things that aren't right in this world, Jesus helps us to see how we can make them better.
Like light when it's dark outside, Jesus helps us to know that God is with us and to not be afraid.
Let's pray about that.
God, we thank you for Jesus, the Light of the World. Helps us to see things clearly and to help others to see with Jesus' help.
We pray in Jesus' name. Amen.
