Object Lesson | Prize Giveaway!

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: A couple of pieces of candy or prizes.

Preparation: None

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: We need to ask God for forgiveness!

Illustration: Walk up to the front, sit in a chair or on the table, and hold up the couple of prizes.  Tell the boys and girls that you have some prizes here.  Now do one of two things:

1.If someone raises their hand and asks for a prize, or even calls out and asks for one then give it to them.

2. If no one raises their hand, or asks for one, then say, “Well, I guess no one wanted one, I’m gonna go put them away now.” Then put them into the prize box and lock it up.
Explanation of point: You see boys and girls, the whole point of this is that God has offered us forgiveness and salvation, but it is up to us to accept it.  God wants to save us, He even sent His son to die for us!  But unless we ask God to forgive us, then we are missing out on all that God has for us including eternal life!
