介绍

这节课将帮助孩子们理解守候主的到来意味着什么。他们还将学习到只有在天上的父知道具体时间，但我们每个人都有责任保持忠信和儆醒，直到那一天到来。

主题

儆醒，跟随耶稣，准备

等孩子(12分钟)

活动｜橡皮泥时钟

首先用橡皮泥做一个大圆圈（直径约12英寸）并将其放在桌子中央。准备好足够的不同颜色的橡皮泥供孩子们使用。在黑板上写下数字1到12。孩子们到达时，给他们每人分配一个从1到12的数字。解释他们将通过这些数字一起用橡皮泥作一个时钟。孩子们可以参考黑板上的数字，如果他们不知道自己的数字长什么样。

如果孩子少于12个，给那些提前完成的孩子分配第二个数字。如果孩子多于12个，可以分成两组，做两个大圆圈。

孩子们完成数字后，让他们根据时钟的位置将数字放在圆圈里。完成后，与孩子们讨论时钟的不同用途。

开头的祷告(5分钟)

参见：开头的祷告

经节(5分钟)

“所以你们要儆醒，因为不知道你们的主那一天要来。” 马太福音24:42

全班一起重复这节经文三次。在说经文时，举起双手像用望远镜寻找耶稣一样。

故事(15分钟)

让孩子们围在你身边准备听故事。在介绍之后，读圣经章节。如果可能，使用儿童圣经，这样孩子们更容易理解。

介绍：

上次我们学习了等待耶稣再来。今天的圣经故事将教我们在等待时该做什么。我们将学习如何使用我们的眼睛。

读马可福音13:32-37（那日子和那时辰无人知道）

讨论问题：

主什么时候会回来？（没有人知道）
天使知道吗？（不知道）
耶稣知道吗？（不知道，连耶稣也不知道）
谁知道主回来那日子和那时辰？（只有天上的父知道）
我们在等待时应该做什么？（要谨慎，要有警觉，保持儆醒）
要谨慎，要有警觉是什么意思？（信任和顺服耶稣，不被敌人的计谋所迷惑。还有就是保持儆醒，不要厌倦为神而活）
保持儆醒非常重要，因为耶稣在这些经文中两次告诉我们要儆醒。保持儆醒是什么意思？（保持儆醒，意味着在我们生命中的每一天都要关注耶稣，直到祂再来。不仅用我们的眼睛，还要用我们的心。）
我们可以通过哪些方式保持儆醒？（听神的话语，相信祂，顺服耶稣，爱人，祷告等。）

STOP, LOOK, AND LISTEN

LESSON 2: WATCHING FOR JESUS

This lesson will help the children understand what it means to watch for the coming of the Lord. They will also learn that only our Father in Heaven knows when, but we are all responsible to keep faithful and alert until that day comes.by Kristy Thornton

TOPICS

Alert, Following Jesus, Preparedness

AS KIDS ARRIVE (12 minutes)

Clay Clock (Activity)

Start by making a large circle out of play dough (about 12 inches in diameter) and place it in the center of the table. Have plenty of extra play dough in different colors ready for the children. Write the number 1 through 12 on the board. As the kids arrive, give them each a number from one to 12. Explain that they will be working together to make a clock by forming the numbers out of play dough. Have the children refer to the numbers on the board if they do not know what their number looks like.

If you have less than 12 kids, assign a second number to those that finish early. If you have more than 12 kids, then you can start with two large circles and have two teams.

Once the children finished forming their numbers, have them place them on the circle where they think they should go, according to a clock. When complete, discuss with the children the different uses we have for a clock.

BIBLE VERSE (5 minutes)

"Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come." Matthew 24:42 NIV

Repeat this scripture three times as a class. As you say the verse, put up two hands like holding binoculars looking for Jesus.

BIBLE STORY (15 minutes)

Gather the children around you in preparation for story time. After the introduction, read the story about the day and the hour is unknown right from the Bible. If possible, use a Children's Bible so it will be easier for the kids to understand.

Introduction:Last time we learned about waiting for Jesus to return. Today's Bible story is going to teach us what to do while we are waiting. We are going to learn what to do with our eyes.

Read Mark 13:32-37 (The Day and Hour is Unknown)Discussion Questions:

1. When is the Lord coming back to earth? (No one knows.)

2. Do the angels know? (No.)

3. Does Jesus the Son know? (No, not even Jesus.)

4. Who will know the day and hour when the Lord comes back? (Only the Father in Heaven.)

5. What are we supposed to do while we wait? (Be on guard, be alert, and keep watch.)

6. What do you think to be on guard and to be alert means? (To trust and obey Jesus and not fall prey to the enemies schemes. Also, to be awake and not grow tired of living for God.)

7. Watching is very important because Jesus tells us twice in these verses to watch. What do you think it means to keep watch? (Keep watch means to be looking towards Jesus every day of our life until the day He returns. Not only with our eyes, but also with our mind.)

8. What are some ways we can keep careful watch? (By hearing God's Word, believing in Him, being obedient to Jesus, loving others, praying, etc.)
