Week 31 - Salt And Light -
Bible Time FUN Through the Bible
Kids Bible Lesson 31 - Salt and Light
Welcome to week 31!
This week your children will learn about how to be the salt of the earth and the light of the world.
Jesus continued the Sermon on the Mountain with the important lesson of being salt of the earth and light of the world. Jesus taught the crowd to preserve the good and let your light shine for the world to see.
In this Bible lesson, the children learn that your light shines through good deeds that glorify God. So allow Jesus to work through you to create a way for all people to be saved.
Happy learning!
If you haven’t read the introduction to Bible Time yet, I recommend you read the outline about the Bible lessons for children first.
