Jesus Light of the World

​

Introduction

The Jesus, Light of the World! unit continues the Christmas celebrations of Jesus’ birth. ​Rather than leaving Christmas behind immediately, the children are invited to join the Magi (Wise Men/Three Kings) in reflecting on the gifts they’d like to bring to Baby Jesus now that all the excitement of the present-giving/receiving in homes is generally over.   

 

Some groups may like to use this material in the weeks leading up to Christmas instead. For groups that follow the church seasons, it's designed for the Epiphany season (the weeks immediately after Christmas).

 

The unit culminates with the joyful presentation of Jesus at the Temple, where Simeon (like Zechariah before him) recognizes Jesus as the Light: this time the Light not just dawning in Israel (Luke 1.78) but shining through the whole world (Luke 2.32)​
