10 Scriptures For Kids About Light

Use these Scriptures in your lesson about Jesus as the Light of the World, for your Glow in the Dark Egg Hunt, your Walk in the Light Easter Event, or for any lesson teaching kids about light! They’re short enough for kids to memorize, and they coordinate with any light or glowing theme. (Note: All verses in NIrV)
