Truth Taught:
Sin makes a mess that we cannot fix on our own.
Materials:
Tube of toothpaste, paper plate
Instructions
- Squeeze some toothpaste onto a paper plate. Ask for a volunteer to try putting the toothpaste back into the tube.
- Allow the student to try, pointing out how difficult and messy it is to reverse the process.
- Explain: Sin is like this toothpaste. It makes a mess in our lives, and no matter how hard we try, we cannot undo the effects of sin.
- Emphasize that just like we can’t fix this mess on our own, we need a Savior—Jesus—to make things right and clean up the mess that sin causes.
