#66: Proverbs 15:30 - Jesus is Our Greatest Hope

Story summary

In this Bible lesson, Greybobby and Betty reminisce on their friend Marvin the Moth, who didn’t believe that the sun would rise again. They remember the lesson of Proverbs 15:30 and the importance of hope.

Proverbs 15:30

The light of the eyes rejoices the heart,
    and good news refreshes the bones.

What did We Learn?

  • Sometimes we can feel hopeless, like the sun won’t shine again.
  • God gives us smaller lights to remind us that the sun will always rise.
  • The light of our eyes is hope, and the greatest hope that we have is that Jesus, God’s Son, will also return.
  • On that day, if we know Him, there will never again be a dark night and the light of our joy will go on forever.

Let's Pray

Dear Heavenly Father,
We pray that you will give us the light of our eyes—hope—so that our hearts will be refreshed.
Even when we experience dark times here, we pray that we will see that light of hope in other believers and, like the moon reminds us the Sun is still there, that light will remind us that Jesus is there and is coming back one day.
It’s in Jesus’ name we pray,
Amen.
