What does this say about God’s Word, the Bible?
The Treasure:
Jesus is the Light of the world and His disciples are called to be light to the world. When you become a Christian, you begin to follow what Jesus says.

We don’t have to be afraid because God is with us and leading us. Keep your eyes on Jesus!

What are the Pharisees doing wrong?
The Treasure:
Jesus wants us to be real! The Pharisees were saying one thing and doing another. On the outside, it looked like they loved God, but on the inside, they were being pretty mean and selfish. Some people go to church, read their Bibles, pray, and sing worship songs because they have to. God wants us to love Him because we want to!
The Display:
One of the problems with the Pharisees is that they thought God loved them because of how good they were being. We can’t save ourselves by our good deeds. All of us sin and that is why we need Jesus. It’s not what we do that saves us; it is what Jesus has done for us! Take a couple of minutes and talk with your mom and dad about what you are most thankful to God for.
