Fifth Sunday of Easter
Children’s Message
- mystery box – a mint life saver candy
“Grab for the life
preserver”
-
What is in the
box?
-
A LifeSaver
-
What is a life
saver?
-
(almost on queue,
the pager went off for the ambulance service)
-
THAT is a life
saver being called.
-
When do you need
a life saver?
o When you are drowning
o Not the candy but a real one.
-
life preservers
o there if we need them
o keeping boating safe in rough waters
-
Jesus is like a
life saver
o when we are sinking in sin
o Jesus reaches down to us
o pulls us back up
-
Jesus is our life
preserver
o when we stay close
o He preservers our lives
-
Jesus is a life
saver
o but we have to accept His offer
o the life preserver if we accept
-
Jesus won’t throw himself on you
o We have to accept
o then we are buoyed on the waters of the Holy Spirit
-
Reach out for our
life saver
-
Grab the life
preserver
-
Accept this gift
that Jesus offers
Prayer – Thank you God for
the life preserver, Jesus Christ.
