介绍

这个实物短讲展示了神通过基督宽恕我们的罪，以及圣灵如何消除阻碍我们与祂亲近的障碍。

主题

宽恕、圣灵、救赎、信

材料

小玻璃杯或杯子

3个硬币

滴管

双层卫生纸（分开）

橡皮筋、水

时间

约5分钟

课前准备

可以在演示过程中组装，也可以事先进行几次练习。

说明

做：

将双层卫生纸分成更薄的两张纸。一些双层面纸也可以用。拿其中一张纸，将其放在玻璃杯的口上用橡皮筋固定，形成类似鼓的东西。然后将三个硬币放在靠近中心的纸上。从滴管中取约1毫升的水，弄湿靠近硬币周围的纸。过一段时间，大约30到60秒，纸会破裂，硬币会掉进杯里。

说：

神希望我们成为祂的儿女并与祂亲近。这个杯子代表神，所以在这个例子中，“在杯子里”的意思是非常接近神。然而，罪恶和恐惧使我们远离祂。这张纸代表罪恶和恐惧。（将一张纸放在杯子的顶部并用橡皮筋固定。）

这些硬币代表我们以及罪恶和恐惧使我们与神分离的方式。（为了效果，将硬币称为班级各成员的名字。）

神希望我们信靠祂，所以圣灵帮助我们认识和信靠神。（从滴管中挤出水）这水代表圣灵。

信靠神意味着相信祂，并接受祂在约翰福音3:16中所说的生命的礼物，“神爱世人，甚至将祂的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信祂的，不至灭亡，反得永远的生命。”当我们倾听圣灵并在心中寻求宽恕时，因着耶稣在十字架上所做的事，神会宽恕我们，我们就可以永远与祂同在。这也许会发生在我们年轻时，也许会发生在我们年长时，但只要我们信靠神，并倾听圣灵，就一定会发生。

（如果必要，等硬币掉进杯子里。）

GOD'S FORGIVENESS

This Object Talk demonstrates the power of God's forgiveness of our sins through Christ, and how the Holy Spirit can melt away the barriers that keeps us from Him.

TOPICS:

Forgiveness, Holy Spirit, Salvation, Trust

MATERIALS:

Small glass or cup3 nickelsEye dropper2-ply bathroom tissue (separated)Rubber band, water

DURATION:

Approximately 5 minutes

PREPARATION

Assembly can be done during the Object Talk. You may wish to take a few practice runs.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Separate the 2-ply bathroom tissue into two thin squares. Some 2-ply facial tissue also works well. Separate and take one square, place it over the opening of the glass and secure it with the rubber band, forming something like a drum. Then place three nickels on the tissue near the center. Take approx. 1 ml water from the dropper and wet the tissue just around and next to the nickels. After a while, about 30 - 60 seconds, the tissue will break and the nickels will fall into the cup.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

God wants us to be His children and live close to Him. This cup represents God, so for this example, being in the cup would be very close to God. However, sin and fear keeps us from being with Him. This tissue will represent sin and fear. (Place one square of tissue paper over the top of the cup and fasten with the rubber band.)

These nickels represent us and the way in which sin and fear separates us from God. (Call the nickels by the names of different class members for effect.)

God wants us to trust Him, so the Holy Spirit helps us to know and trust God. (Empty water from the dropper) This water represents the Holy Spirit.

Trusting in God means believing in Him, and receiving his gift of life as in John 3:16, which says, "For God so loved the world, He gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him will not perish, but have everlasting life." When we listen to the Holy Spirit and ask for forgiveness in our hearts, because of what Jesus did on the cross, God will forgive us and we can live forever with Him. Sometimes this happens when we are young, sometimes when we are older, but if we put our trust in God, and listen to the Holy Spirit, it will happen.

(Wait a little longer if necessary for the nickels to drop into the cup.)
