the Light of Life

In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
John 1: 4-5

Rather than using your own words when correcting your children, use the words written in the Word of God. John 1 verse 14 tells us, "The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." Our very own Savior, Jesus Christ, is the Word of God in the flesh. It is He - and His words - that will reach beyond the behaviors of our children and into their hearts. In Him and His Word is the life which is the light of men, the light that shines into the darkness.
