The Wordless Book is an excellent resource for use in witnessing to others, especially children. This book is easy to learn how to use and is very simple to make. All you need to make a wordless book is black, red, white, yellow or gold and green construction paper or poster board and glue. Arrange the paper in the following order: Black, red, white, yellow or gold and green, then simply glue the edges to make a binding. If you prefer you can hole punch the sides and connect them with yarn. Going through each page of the book the gospel can be simply explained.
1. The black or dark page represents our sin. Every person before he is saved is lost in his sins. His heart is dark without Christ.
2. The red page symbolizes the blood of Jesus. The Bible says that “The blood of Jesus Christ cleanseth us from all sin.” Jesus paid the price for us by dying on the cross and shedding His blood for us.
3. The white page represents the condition of our heart after we have been saved. Jesus’ blood cleanses us, the dark sin is gone and the Bible says we are “as white as snow.”
4. The yellow or gold page symbolizes heaven. When we have received Jesus as our Savior we know that heaven is our home. John 14:3 says that Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. We have a mansion waiting for us in heaven after we receive Jesus.
5. The green page represents growth. When we get saved we should not stay the same as we were before we got saved. II Corinthians 5:17 says that “If any man be in Christ he is a new creature, old things are passed away. Behold: all things are become new.” Christians must grow in their faith by reading and studying the Bible, praying, going to church and witnessing to others.
The Wordless Book is a wonderful method to use in Sunday school, Vacation Bible school or even with your own children. It is simple and inexpensive to make and is a wonderful evangelism tool.
