L6 “Life & Light”

KEY VERSE:

“In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” John 1:4

This lesson is a song! God loves for us to sing. He is the Creator of music and sound. This song is based on the first chapter of John in the Bible. That chapter introduces us to Jesus Christ whose Hebrew name is Yahshua (also spelled Yeshua). There are many important things we learn about Jesus in this chapter:

Yahshua is GOD, CREATOR, LIFE, LIGHT, SAVIOR (through Him we are born again) and IMMANUEL (“God with us”)!

So here is the song which is an easy way to memorize these important truths:

JOHN 1 for KIDS

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was with God

In the beginning was the Word

And the Word was God

Yahshua was in the beginning. Hallelu, Hallelu!

All things were made through Him

And without Him, nothing was made

All things were made through Him

And without Him, nothing was made

Yahshua was in the beginning. Hallelu, Hallelu!

In Him, Yahshua, was Life

And the Life was the Light of all

In Him, Yahshua, was Life

And the Life was the Light of all

Yahshua, the Life and the Light! Hallelu, Hallelu!

And the Light, it shines in the darkness

And the darkness is pushed away.

And the Light, it shines in the darkness

And the darkness is pushed away.

Yahshua, the Life and the Light! Hallelu, Hallelu!

But to all who received Him,

He gave the right to be children of God.

But to all who received Christ,

He gave the right to be children of God.

Yashua, the Life and the Light! Hallelu, Hallelu!

To all who believe on His name

They are born, born of God.

To all who believe on His name

They are born, born of God.

Yashua, the Life and the Light! Hallelu, Hallelu!

Yahshua, the Word was made flesh

And He dwelt among us

Yahshua, the Word was made flesh

And He dwelt among us

And we beheld His wonderful glory! Hallelu, Hallelu!

Yahshua, God’s only begotten* Son, Full of grace, full of truth

Yahshua, God’s only begotten Son, Full of grace, full of truth

Hallelu, Hallelu! Hallelu, Hallelu!

Yahshua, my Life and my Light! Hallelu, Hallelu!

Hallelu, Hallelu! Hallelu, Hallelu!

Hallelu, Hallelu! Hallelu, HalleluYAH!

* NOTE: Yahshua is God’s “only begotten Son”. This is a very important point and so although you have to sing those words quickly to fit them into the melody, it is important to know each one of those words. (Some translations of the Bible have omitted “begotten” but there is a word there in the original Greek for it. If it was in the original, God wanted us to know it!)

Yahshua is God’s “only begotten Son”. It is important to know that Jesus is unique! When we become God’s child in Jesus’ name, we, also, are born of God. We become sons of God, but we are not “only begotten”. The words “only begotten” tell us that somehow Jesus was special, one of a kind! He is of the very same nature as God. Jesus is unique in how He is “only begotten”. He is God. See how important those words “only begotten” are? (See also Lesson 5)
