INTRODUCTION
Start
by saying the following: Who here knows someone who does wrong things all the
time, things that displease God? (Wait participation) In your opinion, can this
person change its life, its behavior? Today you will know the story of two boys
who behaved very differently. Let us find out why? Then listen carefully.
JESUS CAME TO SAVE THE LOST
ONCE
UPON a time, there was a boy named David. He was from
and he liked very much to go to church with his
family. On the street where he lived there was a boy named Carl, who was 10
years old and was very naughty. He was always involved in fighting and
confusions; he used to hit other children, mistreated animals and did not
respect elder people. Mrs. Jane, David’s mother, was always going to church.
One day, he saw Carl’s mother, Mrs. Mary, walking down the street with a very
sad face. Mrs. Jane asked her if she had a problem and she answered: I am very
sad with the behavior of my son Carl. I do not know what to do to change him.
Then Mrs. Jane invited her to go to church, and she accepted the invitation.
Next day, both of them went to church and their children went to
.
Carl was very well received by
the educator and the children, while David was paying attention. During the
class, the educator introduced Carl to all children and everyone said “welcome”
and prayed for him.
When the class was over, David
went to the educator and said that Carl was a very disobedient and fighting boy
and, because of that, he thought he should not be treated well, for he did not
deserve so much attention. David was jealous. The educator said to David that
it is written on the Bible the Lord Jesus wishes to save, to deliver those who
are lost in this world living in disobedience and making mistakes. David left
thinking on what he just heard. Carl continued attending
and day by day
he was behaving differently. He was not rebel anymore; he was playing with
other boys and was not fighting with them; he became a good student and
everyone began commenting about the new behavior of the boy. One day, at
, the educator asked who had a testimony to say and
Carl told what Jesus had mad in his life, by delivering him from all disobedience
for he had accepted the Lord Jesus in his heart, what made all the class happy.
When the class was over, David apologized to Carl and said he was also happy
for God saving him. From that day on, they became great friends.
CONCLUSION
Little friends, it is written in the Bible: “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save
the lost.” (Luke 19.10)
If
you have been doing something wrong and because of that you think the Lord
Jesus will not listen to your prayers then tell Him all the bad things you have
been doing and say you will no longer do that; He will surely change your
behavior just as he changed Carl form today’s story. Jesus will live inside
your heart, just believe, understood?
FUN
CHAT
Educator,
for this moment you will need pictures of sick people (ill) and smiling people
(apparently healthy). Glue masking tape behind the pictures and glue it on the
board. Start this moment by saying the
following: Children, in your opinion, which of those people (point to the board
or the wall) need healthcare? Educator, point to a picture at a time and wait
their participation.
Conclude
by saying: Children, sick people go to the hospital looking for doctors to help
them, right? Someone who is healthy does not look for a medical appointment,
right? You know, kids, the Lord Jesus used an example similar to this when he
said: “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.”
It is written in the book of Matthew 9.12.
You
see, Jesus wishes to save everyone who are lost in this world and practice
wrong things. Who here wishes to receive Jesus inside your heart? Then lift up
your hands and ley us talk to Him.
