DAY 25: Jesus’s Disciples Followed Him #LIGHTtheWORLD
Song: Silent Night
Scripture: Matthew 4:18-22
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Here’s a small DIY Project that takes just a can, drill, battery-operated Christmas lights, hot glue and this printable below. Here’s what it looks like.
Optional Gift Idea: If you are not crafty or do not have the time to make the “I CAN LIGHT THE WORLD” gifts, then print out this game and coloring page. Wrap it up with some glitter crayons, a candy bar and tuck it under the Christmas tree. To download the coloring page and game, go here.
