This colorful picture book uses the biblical themes of light and dark to help children (ages 4-8) understand God's provision for his people and our need for salvation through Jesus. "I am the light of the world. I have come to bring light and joy and life. I have come to take away darkness and sadness and death." From the moment God declared, "Let there be light," his love has served as a beacon of protection and guidance for his people. God's Bright Story explores the biblical contrasts of light and darkness--good and evil--from Israel's captivity in Egypt to Jesus's triumphant resurrection and the gift of the Holy Spirit. Children will discover that because of God's illuminating love, light ultimately triumphs over darkness, good overcomes evil, and when Jesus shines in their lives, they can reflect God's love and light to others.
