The HillsSample

Before Jesus arrived in this world, light was hard to come by. Not literally, of course, but in a spiritual sense, the light had gone. Darkness was all there was. After sin created separation between God and God’s people, they were left without hope, without peace, and without a light to guide them. Rather than leave the world and its people in that darkness, God made a choice that changed everything. God chose to send life and light back to the world through the person of Jesus. His death and resurrection changed everything. Jesus ended our separation from God, and Jesus made a way for light to shine again. This is the message of the Gospel. This is the hope of our hearts. This is the light of the world still shining on us today.

This week, talk to a trusted friend, adult, or Small Group Leader about what Jesus’ light and life mean to you. If you aren’t sure, have questions, or want to take a step to understand more about what following Jesus might mean for you, share that with them, too!
