Lesson: The Right Clothes!
Colossians 2 and 3
(You will need two white or pale colored t-shirts and a washable marker.)
When the Apostle Paul wrote to the Christians in Colosse, he wanted them to have complete understanding of who Jesus is—he is the one who holds all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
He wanted them to strengthen their faith and understand the importance of holy living.
What do you think “holy living” means? (Receive answers.)
Holy means to be set apart, to be pure, without sin. In other words, Paul wanted them to know that since Jesus had died on the cross and rose from the dead, and they were trusting in his sacrifice to forgive their
sins to make them pure before God, they must stop living the way they used to
live. He then reminded them of how they used to behave before trusting in God.
They committed sins with their bodies (sexual sins), they desired evil things,
they craved what others had, and were greedy. However, Paul wanted them to know there were still behaviors
in their lives that needed
changing.
To illustrate this point, I will need a volunteer. (Have
him or her put on one of the t-shirts. As you name the following sins, use the marker to write them on the t-shirt.)
Paul then listed some of the sins they were still "wearing" or holding on to, such as:
anger, rage, hatred, cruelty, insults, dirty talking, cussing, and lying. He told them to
take them off, to get rid of their sins and lay them aside. So let’s do that!

But God doesn’t leave us naked, he wants us to . . . keep
