John 1 · Grade 2
The Light Shines
Read the Story
In the beginning was the Word. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. God made all things through Him. The Word is Jesus!
Jesus is like a light in the dark. The dark cannot put out His light. Jesus came to live with us as a man.
John the Baptist saw Jesus. He said, Look, the Lamb of God! He takes away the sin of the world. Two men heard John and followed Jesus. Then they told their friends to come and see.
Memory Verse
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness hasn’t overcome it.”
