Matthew 5 · Grade 2

Light of the World

Name Date

Read the Story

Many people came to hear Jesus. He went up on a mountain and sat down to teach them.

Jesus said God blesses people who are gentle, kind and pure in heart. He said God blesses people who make peace.

Jesus said, "You are the light of the world." People do not hide a lamp. They put it where it can shine. Jesus wants us to shine by doing good works, so people will praise God.

Memory Verse

“You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden.

Matthew 5:14 (WEB)
