John 1 · Grade 3

The Lamb of God

Name Date

Read the Story

The Gospel of John begins like Genesis: In the beginning. The Word was with God, and the Word was God. Everything was made through Him. In Him was life, and that life was the light of people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

God sent a man named John to tell about the light. Then the Word became flesh and lived among us. That means God's Son became a real human being, Jesus. Everyone who receives Him becomes a child of God.

John the Baptist saw Jesus and said, Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! He had seen the Spirit come down on Jesus like a dove. Andrew followed Jesus and brought his brother Simon. Jesus gave Simon a new name, Peter. Philip brought Nathanael, who said Jesus is the Son of God.

“In him was life, and the life was the light of men.”

John 1 · Grade 4

In the Beginning Was the Word

Name Date

Read and Think

John's Gospel opens before time began. The Word already existed. He was with God, and He was God. Through Him all things were made. In Him was life, and His life was the light of all people. The darkness has never been able to put that light out.

The Word came into the world He had made, but many did not receive Him. Yet to all who did receive Him and believe in His name, He gave the right to become children of God. The Word became flesh and lived among us. We saw His glory, full of grace and truth. No one has ever seen God, but the Son has made Him known.

John the Baptist said he was not the Christ. He was a voice preparing the way. When he saw Jesus, he called Him the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. Two of John's disciples followed Jesus. Jesus asked what they were looking for and said, Come, and see. One of them, Andrew, found his brother Simon and said they had found the Messiah. Soon Philip and Nathanael followed too.

John 1 · Grade 5

Full of Grace and Truth

Name Date

Read and Think

The first words of John's Gospel echo Genesis 1. In the beginning was the Word. Before anything was made, the Word was with God and was God. All things were made through Him. Just as God spoke light into being at creation, the Word brings life and light into a dark world. The darkness hasn't overcome it.

Then John tells the most amazing news. The Word became flesh, and lived among us. The eternal Son of God took on a human body and moved into our neighborhood. Not everyone welcomed Him. But to all who received Him, He gave the right to become God's children, born not of human will, but of God. From His fullness we all received grace upon grace. The law was given through Moses. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John the Baptist knew his role. He was not the light, but a witness to the light. He pointed to Jesus and said, Behold, the Lamb of God. A lamb was used for sacrifices, so this title pointed to Jesus' death for sin. The first disciples followed Jesus one by one. Andrew brought Simon. Philip brought Nathanael. When Nathanael doubted, Philip simply said, Come and see. Nathanael met Jesus and confessed Him as the Son of God and King of Israel.
