THE PERSON AND LIFE OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST

Character Lesson Six

CLEAR

Definition:

A clear person is not confused but understands things and knows what to do.

Examples and/or Questions to Ask the Children:

1. In order to solve many problems, you must be able to think and speak clearly.

2. When the Lord Jesus was tempted in the wilderness (Matt. 4:1-11), He was clear in understanding what the Devil was trying to do, and He was clear in speaking the Word of God to answer the Devil.

3. Are you clear about what you would do if you find a wallet with some money and credit cards?

4. Are you clear about what you would say if your friend asks you to do something your parents told you not to do?

Verse:

"... and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly " Job 33:3b

Craft:

Transparencies. The main point of the transparencies is that they are clear, you can see through them. Have the children color the picture (of a pretty day, etc) that is on the paper, then attach the transparency to the top of the page, by a piece of folded construction paper (or other colored paper) stapled to top only. This allows them to pick up the transparency and see that it is there, and you are able to see through it to see the picture they colored clearly. If you have a way to permanently put the verse on the corner of the transparency, that would be nice.

[Materials needed - transparencies (with or without verse printed on it), crayons, stapler with staples, 8 1/2 inch strips of construction paper (or other colored paper) about 2 inches wide]
