The people walking in darkness have
seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. Isaiah 9;2 |
Derek Bowering,
who leads our Super Troopers (the Sunday School) has a wonderful ability to
produce visual aids that illustrate Christian truths for the children. This
Sunday, he provided the main materials for each child to make a manger, with a low voltage electric circuit, to
illustrate the Christmas story. Only when a piece of wood carved with the name
"God" was in place, did a star (lamp) light up the scene, to show
that it was the presence of Jesus, God made man, in the stable that made the
difference – he is the light of the world.
The verse associated with this was Isaiah 9:2
The people walking in darkness have
seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness a
light has dawned.
Whenever Derek
is on duty, he provides some similar model. One child has kept all of those
that he has received on a shelf in his bedroom.
