BACK TO SCHOOL OBJECT LESSON – WHITEBOARD (FORGIVENESS)
Here’s a fun back to school object lesson for your preteen ministry!
- Object: Whiteboard
- Topic: Forgiveness
- Bible: Isaiah 43:25; 1 John 1:9
PREPARATION
Get a clean whiteboard, 2 dry erase markers and 2 erasers and/or cleaning spray and paper towels.
Mark your Bible to Isaiah 43:25 & 1 John 1:9.
DEMONSTRATION
Invite 2 volunteers to the white board and give both of them a dry erase marker.
Direct them to use the markers to make the board as “messy” as they can within 15 seconds.
When the time is up, invite 2 new volunteers and give them each erasers or cleaning spray and paper towels and have them clean the board completely as quickly as they can.
OBJECT LESSON
“Now that it’s erased, can you still see the marks on the white board?
What if these marks had been made and erased 2 weeks ago? Could they just reappear on their own?
Right. Once something has been erased from a whiteboard (as long as it was erased well) you can’t see it again. It doesn’t matter if it was just erased an hour ago or years ago.
In the same way, when we ask Jesus to forgive our sins he forgives them completely. It doesn’t matter if you start to have a relationship with Jesus today, or made that commitment years ago. Once you ask God to forgive you, he erases all your sins and they are forgotten completely.
In Isaiah 43:25 God says, “I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake; And I will not remember your sins.”
