Source (Where I saw it): Original
Supplies: Junk food, and some healthy food
Preparation: Have the different kinds of foods on various plates up front.
The object lesson & how I used it...
Main Point: Temptation is a choice! Sometimes sin looks good and feels good at first, but there is always consequences.
Illustration: Tell the kids how hungry you are, and that you are looking for something to eat. You notice on the table there is some food! Now you have to make a choice. Do you go for the healthy food that will help you grow, and be more alert through the day, or do you choose the junk food that will taste really, really good now, but make you feel not so great later. You stare at the junk food, and then at the healthy food. Then explain to the children that sometimes we can be tempted with things that seem good, but in the long run will hurt us. If we ate donuts for breakfast lunch and dinner we would end up being very unhealthy! It is up to us to choose healthy things to put into our bodies. In the same way, we have to make right choices in life as well!
