介绍

我们像污秽的破布，真的能变得完全洁净吗？有了耶稣，我们可以！

主题

重生、饶恕、救恩、牺牲、罪

材料

一块非常脏的破布

一块干净的布

一个纸袋或桶

时间

约7分钟

课前准备

课前把一块非常脏的破布和一块干净的布放进一个普通的纸袋或桶里。

你将用那块非常脏的破布比喻一个还没有接受基督、仍被罪玷污的人；用干净的布比喻一个已经通过耶稣的牺牲，得着救恩与罪得赦免的人。

说明

神对我们的爱是极大的，你同意吗？在圣经里，在主日学课堂上，在教会里，我们都学习到神非常爱我们。事实上，祂爱我们到一个地步，甚至差派祂的独生子为我们的罪钉在十字架上。但你可能会问：耶稣为什么要为“我的”罪而死？我可是一个好人啊，我尽量不撒谎、不作弊、不偷窃。我会进天堂，对吧？（让学生回答）

其实，正确的答案是：“不是”！光靠自己努力行善，我是不能进天国的。罗马书3章23节说：“因为世人都犯了罪，亏缺了神的荣耀。”也就是说，没有人能靠自己的行为进天国。圣经还说，我们靠自己所做的一切“义”在神眼中都像“污秽的衣服”（以赛亚书64:6）。你能想象什么是污秽的破布吗？你不用想象，我刚好这里有一块。（拿出那块脏破布）

哎呀！太脏了！你愿意用它洗澡吗？或者擦干碗盘？我可以试着用肥皂、水，甚至漂白水清洗它，也可以拿到石头上用力搓打……但它永远也回不到原来的样子。（把脏布放回袋子）

那么，如果我们就像那块污秽的破布，我们还有希望吗？有的！我们的希望在于耶稣！祂为了拯救我们，牺牲了自己的生命。祂被折磨、鞭打、羞辱，最终被钉在十字架上忍受极其痛苦的死亡，全都是因为祂极其爱我们。这就是耶稣为我们所做的，好使我们可以像新的一样洁净。然而，我们也需要做一件事。你知道耶稣要我们做什么吗？（让学生回答）

约翰福音6章47节，耶稣说：“我实实在在的告诉你们，信的人有永远的生命。”祂要我们信靠祂，就这么简单。祂的爱和牺牲遮盖了许多的罪（彼得前书4:8）。当我们让耶稣成为我们生命的主，我们就不再污秽了。（拿出干净的布）

Filthy Rags

Can we, being like filthy rags, ever become completely clean? With Jesus we can!

TOPICS:

Born Again, Forgiveness, Salvation, Sacrifice, Sin

MATERIALS:

Very dirty ragClean ragPaper bag or bucket

DURATION:

Approximately 7 minutes

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Place a very dirty rag, and a clean rag into a plain brown bag or bucket before class. You will compare a very dirty rag to a person who has not received Christ and is still dirty with sin, and a clean rag to a person who has received salvation and the forgiveness of sin through the sacrifice of Jesus.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

God’s love for us is very great, wouldn’t you agree? In the Bible, in Sunday school class, and in church we learn that God loves us very much. In fact, so much that he sent His only Son to the cross to die for our sins. But, why did Jesus have to die for my sins? After all, I’m a good person, I try not to lie, or cheat, or steal. I’m going to heaven. Right? (Allow of answers.)

Well, the correct answer is NO! I am not going to heaven just because I try to do what is good or right. In Romans 3:23, Paul says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.” That means no one can get to heaven by their own efforts. The Bible also says that all of the good things we do on our own are like filthy rags to God (Isaiah 64:6). Can you image a filthy rag? Well, you don’t have to. I just happen to have one here. (Pull out dirty rag.)

Yuck! This is filthy. How would you like to take a bath with this, or dry the dishes? I could try to clean it first, with soap and water, maybe some bleach, and by pounding it on a rock. But, it will never be like it was when it was new. (Put the dirty rag back in the bag.)

So if we are like that filthy rag, then where is our hope? Our hope is in Jesus! That is why he sacrificed His own life to save ours! He was tortured, flogged, whipped and mocked, and then nailed to a cross to die a painful death, all because He loves us so much. That’s what Jesus did so we can be like new. However, we need to do something too. Do you know what Jesus asks us to do? (Allow for answers.)

In John 6:47, Jesus said, “I tell you the truth, he who believes has everlasting life.”He asks us to believe in him. That’s all. His love and sacrifice covers over a multitude of sins (1 Peter 4:8). When we let Jesus be the Lord of our life, we are filthy no more. (Pull out clean rag.)
