魔鬼有时会把坏东西包装得很漂亮。这个短讲将向孩子们展示，被魔鬼欺骗是很容易的。
主题
选择，魔鬼，愚蠢，诱惑
两个大小相似的盒子
包装纸，
丝带
棕色纸或报纸
旧袜子
给每个孩子准备一些糖果
时间
约10分钟
课前准备
课前，将糖果放在一个盒子里，将旧袜子放在另一个盒子里。用漂亮的包装纸和漂亮的丝带包装带旧袜子的盒子。用普通的棕色纸或报纸包装有糖果的盒子。
说明
做：
在课堂上，选择两个善于沟通的孩子作志愿者。不让其他孩子听到，给每个志愿者一个包裹，并告诉他们，他们的任务是说服班上的同学打开他们手里的包裹，但不告诉大家里面是什么。只能打开一个包裹，并且必须通过大多数投票来决定。如果他们决定打开漂亮的包裹，这是很可能的，就打开包裹，找到旧袜子，并解释魔鬼在我们生活中也是这样做的，使坏事看起来很美好。如果他们选择打开丑陋的礼物，表扬他们能够抵制诱惑。之后，可以打开另一个包裹。最后用糖果奖励孩子们。
说：
我们的志愿者手里各有一个包裹。他们需要知道大家要打开哪一个。你们只能打开其中一个。在决定打开哪个之前，让我们听听志愿者怎么说，志愿者一，为什么应该打开你的包裹？现在轮到志愿者二，为什么应该打开你的包裹？
（给孩子们一些时间思考。）好的，是时候投票了。举手表示谁想打开这个丑陋的包裹？现在谁想打开这个漂亮的包裹？（打开被选中的包裹。）
如果选择打开漂亮的包裹：
被骗认为因为外表漂亮，里面就是好的是很容易的。但这并不总是真的，就像这个例子一样。
如果选择打开丑陋的包裹：
你们都应该受到表扬。你们必须知道不能以貌取人。大多数班级会因为包裹外表看起来漂亮而选择打开漂亮的包裹。
魔鬼经常使用这个伎俩，让对我们实际上有害的事情看起来像是好的。圣经说：“这并不希奇，因为撒但自己也装作光的使者。”（哥林多后书11:14）。那么我们怎样才能避免被魔鬼欺骗呢？（认识神的话，祈祷，与神的子民在一起，等等）我认为你们已经学到了教训，所以让我们继续打开另一个包裹，看看里面是什么。

YOUR CHOICE
The devil sometimes wraps bad things in pretty packages. This object talk will show the kids that it is easy to be fooled by the devil.
TOPICS:Choices, Devil, Foolishness, Temptation MATERIALS:Two boxes of similar sizeWrapping paper, ribbonBrown paper or newspaperOld sockPieces of candy for each child DURATION:Approximately 10 minutes |
PREPARATION:
Before class, place candy in one box and an old sock in the other. Wrap the box with the old sock in beautiful wrapping paper and a nice ribbon. Use plain brown paper or newspaper to wrap the box containing candy.
WHAT YOU WILL DO:
During class, you will select two children who are good communicators. Without letting the other children hear, give one package to each volunteer and tell them that their job is to convince the class to open their package. Do not tell them what is inside. The class can only open one package, and must decide by taking a majority class vote. If they decide to open the pretty package, which is most likely, you will have them open the box to find the old sock, while explaining how the devil does the same thing in our life by making things that are bad look good. If they choose to open the ugly gift, commend them for their ability to resist such temptation. After making either point, the other package can be opened. Reward the kids with the candy in the end.
WHAT YOU WILL SAY:
Our volunteers both have a package. They need to know which one the class will open. You can only open one package. Before you make your decision on which package to open, let’s hear from the volunteers as to why you should open their package. Volunteer one, why should the class open your package? Now volunteer two, why should the class open your package?
(Allow a few moments for the kids to think it over.) OK, it is time for the vote. By a show of hands, who wants to open this kind of ugly package? Now who wants to open this pretty package? (Open the package selected.)
If voting to open the pretty package:
It is easy to be fooled into thinking that because something is pretty on the outside, that it is good on the inside. That is not always true, like in this example.
If voting to open the ugly package:
You are all to be congratulated. You must know that you cannot judge a book by its cover. Most classes would have voted to open the pretty package, because of the way it looks on the outside.
The devil uses this trick all the time, making things that are actually bad for us look like they are good. The Bible says "And no wonder, for Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." (2 Corinthians 11:14). So what can we do to avoid being tricked by the devil? (Know God's Word, pray, be with God's people, etc.) I think you have learned your lesson, so let's go ahead and open the other package to see what is inside.
