这是一个免费的主日学实物教学。真正的基督徒和假的基督徒之间的差别，就像真花和假花之间的差别一样。

主题

基督徒生活、结果子、敬虔、真理、价值观

材料

一个小花瓶

一朵假花

一朵新鲜剪下来的真花

时间

大约5分钟

说明

1.做

上课前，准备一朵假花和一朵新鲜剪下来的真花，把它们都插在花瓶里，并在花瓶中装上水。

（两朵花不一定要是同一种，但如果外形比较相似，教学效果会更好。）

让孩子们不要只靠眼睛判断哪一朵是真花，而是用其他感官，比如触摸和闻气味，来分辨真假。同样，我们也可以分辨一个“假的基督徒”和一个真正的基督徒。

外表有时候会骗人，但还是有办法看出差别。

2.说

大家看，我这里有两朵很漂亮的花。两朵花看起来都很漂亮。你们能看出它们有什么不同吗？（孩子们很可能会马上看出其中一朵是假花，甚至可能有人觉得假花更漂亮。这都没有关系。）

这两朵花看起来都很好看。它们都插在花瓶里，也都放在水中。但其中一朵并不是真的。我想你们一定能看出来哪一朵是假花。

假的基督徒，就很像这朵假花。他们可能会说自己是基督徒，星期天也去教会，外表看起来也像基督徒。可是，他们跟随主的生活却是假的，是外表做出来的。他们里面并没有真实的属灵生命。

现在，让我再给你们看看，还有哪些方法可以分辨真假。（请一位孩子上来，摸一摸假花，并说说它摸起来是什么感觉。然后，再让他摸一摸真花的花瓣，说说有什么不同。）

对，假花摸起来通常比较硬。但真花的花瓣柔软、细腻，摸起来很舒服。

（再请另一位孩子上来，闻一闻假花，说说闻到了什么。然后，再闻一闻真花，说说它是什么味道。）

对，假花没有香味，或者可能只有一点塑料味。但真花有自然的香气，闻起来令人愉快。真正的基督徒，就像这朵真花。他们不只是因为星期天出现在教会里，看起来像基督徒。在一周其他的日子里，他们也会去做讨神喜悦的事，也会成为别人的祝福。他们不是死的，而是有永生的生命。现在，你愿意成为哪一朵花呢？

Fake Flowers

A free Sunday school object talk. Real Christians are as different from fake Christians as real flowers are different from artificial ones

TOPICS:

Christian Living, Fruitfulness, Godliness, Truth, Values

MATERIALS:

One small vaseOne artificial flowerOne fresh cut flower

DURATION:

Approximately 5 minutes

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Before class, find one artificial flower and one fresh cut flower, and place each in the vase. Fill the vase with water. (Flowers do not need to be the same type, but if they are similar, it will enhance the effect of the lesson.) You will have the children identify the real flower from the fake flower not by sight, but by using their other senses such as smell and touch. In a similar way, we can identify a fake Christian from a genuine Christian. Looks may be deceiving, but there are ways to tell.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

Look everyone, I have two beautiful flowers here. Both flowers are beautiful, can you tell any difference between the two flowers? (The kids will most likely be able to see that one of the flowers is not real, some might even say the fake flower is prettier. This is OK.)

Both flowers do look pretty. Both are sitting in water and in a vase, but one is not real. I am sure you can tell which flower is fake. Fake Christians are a lot like this fake flower. They may say they are Christians, go to church on Sunday and look like Christians. However, their walk with the Lord is fake or artificial. They do not have a real spiritual life. Let me show you some other ways you can tell the difference between real and fake.

Ask a volunteer to come forward, touch the fake flower, and describe how it feels. Then have them touch the petals of the real flower and describe how it feels. Yes, the fake flower is stiff, but the real flower feels smooth and soft, pleasing to touch. Ask another volunteer to come up and smell the fake flower and describe what he or she smells. Then have them smell the real flower and describe how it smells. Yes, the fake flower has no smell, or perhaps smells like plastic, but the real flower smells good, it has a pleasing aroma. Real Christians are like this real flower, not only do they look like Christians by being at church on Sunday, but the rest of the week they are doing things that please God, and they are a blessing to others. They are not dead, but have everlasting life. Now which of these flowers would you rather be?
