My name is
Linda , I am a Sunday School teacher for ages 3-6. I would like to
share a lesson with you. I have taught on the TRINITY before and this
is what the Holy Spirit gave me to teach the children how he forgives
sin what sin looks like to him and how he cleanses those who come to
him.
I used 3 clear
see-through glasses (the kind you drink from) and set them on the
table before the children and explained to them about Father God, SON
JESUS, and Holy spirit, which are 3 like the glasses that are set
before them, then I took a picture of clear water from a clear picture
(see through) and explained that GOD, JESUS, HOLY SPIRIT are like the
water in the picture which is one all together as the water is one in
the picture, then I told them to watch how one God can become 3. I
poured the water in all three of the glasses and asked them to tell me
who reminded them of the first glass (GOD) then the second glass
(Jesus) then the third glass (holy Spirit) which is all three in one,
then I showed them the second glass (which was Jesus) and told them
how pure and clean Jesus was, letting them handle the glass and look
at it, then I explained to them about sin and how Jesus came to make
us clean like him. I explained how sin looked to God and how Jesus
came and took our sins upon himself so we could become clean like the
glass of water. When Jesus sees us he cleans us up after forgiving us,
then we look clean like he does. Now I took some tea or coffee and and
poured it into the middle glass where Jesus is and the water became
dark and I got some surprising looks from my kids they automatically
caught on and said is that still Jesus, I said yes. Then they said
that's our sin in him, (COFFEE OR TEA ....IN WATER) I said yes!
(Have a child come forward with oxi-clean or bleach and drop a couple
of drops in the middle glass, the JESUS GLASS) Then say, "When
Jesus takes our sin we become clean like Jesus through God's
forgiveness."
