When my BIL
was here he told me to sing "Choose the Light" when singing "Choose the
Right".
In John 12: 46 - 47, the Savior is
our light and when we abide with him, we are never in darkness.
vs. 46 - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on
me should not abide in darkness.
President N. Eldon Tanner:
“One of God’s greatest gifts to
man is freedom of choice.
Light Analogy for Sr. Primary - Source: Vicki Claybrook
John 8:12 ...I am the Light of the world.... Bring in several sources or
pictures of sources of light. Have students identify the purpose of
each.
Next, have students identify how Christ functions in a similar capacity.
See examples: Sun: Is the source of life for all things living on earth.
(Christ provides resurrection/life for all men.)
 | Porch
light: Serves as a beacon to help us find home. |
|
Campfire/fireplace: Provides warmth and comfort |
|
Lighthouse: Protects from dangers |
|
Flashlight: Defines a safe path. |
|
Nightlight: Banishes darkness and eliminates fear |
| Match
with candles: Light can be shared or given to others |
| Car
headlights: Let us know where we are heading |
|
Tail-lights in a fog (There must be a better example): A guide that
can be followed |
Have
students continue to add to the list and see if they can add to the
analogy.

Holy
Spirit: light of the world
To illustrate the Holy Ghost (good to use when speaking at
baptisms).....use a candle on a candle stick, a tall glass "hurricane"
globe to place around the candle and candlestick, and a candle
snuffer. The candle represents you. Lighting the candle represents
your faith, baptism and membership in the church. (Note, I believe it
is against church policy to light a flame in church.) The glass globe
represents the Holy Ghost, which you receive after baptism for "your
protection." Explain that when you remain worthy and have the Holy
Ghost with (or around) you, it will "protect you" from the fierce
winds of the world as well as the adversary, Satan. Here, the candle
snuffer represents Satan. Meaning, he is there waiting to snuff out
your candle (of your faith or church membership). Note that when you
place the globe around the candle, the candle snuffer cannot reach the
flame. (Holy Spirit) |
