Object Lesson | Candy Bucket

Source (Where I saw it): Original

Supplies: Bucket of candy

Preparation: Have a bucket of various candies ready. The more diversity the better.

The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: God loves, accepts, and wants all of us.

Illustration: Show the group the bucket of candy. Start pulling out different pieces of candy and asking if someone would want it. Then pull out a different kind, describe it and then ask if anyone wanted it. Do this a few times, and you can even hand out a few pieces to those that are well behaved.

Explanation: You see boys and girls, every single one of you were trying to get a piece of candy. It didn’t really matter which one, you were constantly raising your hand for one because you know that candy tastes really good. God is the same way with us. Even though on the outside we are all different we have one thing in common with every single person on the planet. No matter if a person is young, old, rich, poor, healthy, sick, tall, short, or anything else we were all created by God. We are all also loved by God. Because of that fact and that connection we should be nice to everyone, and by being nice and doing the right thing we can show others that God loves them!
