In the Beginning part 3

This last week we talked about the fourth day of Creation. On the fourth day God created the sun moon and stars. let's check out what the Bible says about it:

And God said, “Let there be lights in the sky to separate day from night, and let them serve as signs to mark the seasons, days, and years, and let them be lights in the sky to give light to the earth.” And it was so.

God made two great lights—the sun to give light during the day and the moon to give light during the night.

God also made the stars. He set them in the sky, also to give light to the earth! And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

Genesis 1:14-19

Read John 6:1-13

Just as God created the sun and the moon to be signs of day and night… He created us to be signs of his love! The boy was showing his love for God by being willing to give up everything he had so that Jesus could feed the crowd of people. The people saw the faith that the boy had in Jesus, and because of his act of faith, they were all fed and were able to stay and listen to Jesus teach.

God wants to use us in the same way. He wants the way we act to be a sign of light to the world. He wants the words we say to show others that we love him!

Memory Verse: "You are the light of the world." Matthew 5:14

Q's for the Fam:
1. The boy’s attitude was a sign that he loved Jesus. He was willing to give everything he had and let Jesus do something amazing with it! What do you, or can you, do to show others that you love God? Do you share with others? Do you make fun of other kids? Do you tell people about Jesus?

2. Just as God placed the sun and moon in the sky to be signs that would mark the seasons, days, and years, he placed you in this world to be a sign of his love. What is something that you can do this week to be a sign of God’s love to someone?
