介绍

为了在生命的干旱与艰难中站立得稳，并让人看见耶稣活在我们里面，我们必须在神的话语中深深扎根。

主题

困难、艰苦、站立得稳、试炼、见证

材料

一株蒲公英植物，或一朵蒲公英花，或一根带种子的蒲公英茎

蒲公英图片 图1 图2

时间

约10分钟

说明

1.做

拿出一株蒲公英给大家看。若能找到，最好是一盆盛开的蒲公英，或者至少是一段蒲公英的花。如果实在没有，也可以用图片。

讲解蒲公英是如何通过生长出深长的根系来抵御干旱和其他恶劣环境的，并引导孩子们明白：作为基督徒，我们也必须在神的话语中“扎根”，才能有同样的韧性。

接着把蒲公英如何传播种子，比喻成我们要将耶稣的好消息传扬出去。

2.说

大家知道这是什么吗？对，这是蒲公英。蒲公英是种很特别的植物。也许你觉得它只是杂草，但其实神以非常奇妙的方式造了它。

首先，蒲公英非常坚韧。它可以在极干燥的天气、甚至旱灾中存活，也能忍受高温。这是因为它会往地下长出非常深的根，有的根甚至能长到50公分（20英寸）深。虽然表层的土干了，它的根却能深入找到水源来维持生命。

那我们基督徒，怎样才能在生命的艰难中也像蒲公英一样站立得住？当我们遇到困难，比如失去亲人、生病、失败，或者面对艰难的任务，我们怎么才能不动摇？答案是：把生命深深扎根在神的话语和与神同行的生活中。

我们越是扎根在神的话里，就越能承受世界带来的挑战。正如《耶利米书》17:7–8所说：

蒲公英还教我们基督徒另一件事：如何传播信息。你可能吹过一朵带满种子的蒲公英，看着那些像降落伞一样的小种子随风飞舞。同样地，作为基督徒，我们也应该将耶稣的好消息传扬给他人。当然，最好的起点就是：我们自己先要深深扎根在神的话语中。

讨论问题：

1. 作为孩子，你会遇到哪些困难？而神的话语能如何帮助你面对这些困难？

2. 除了读圣经之外，你还能做哪些事，帮助自己灵命扎根更深？

Deep Roots

To withstand the droughts and hardships of life, and let others see Jesus alive in us, we need to be deeply rooted in the Word of God.

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

You will show the class a dandelion. If possible, bring a potted dandelion in full bloom or at least a clipping of a dandelion flower. If none are available you can use the pictures above.

You will explain how dandelions are able to resist drought and other adverse conditions by growing long roots and as Christians, we can do the same by being deeply rooted in the word of God. Then you will compare how the dandelion spreads its seeds to how we should spread the Good News of Jesus to others. 

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

Does everyone know what this is? Yes, it is a dandelion. The dandelion is a magnificent plant. You may think it is only a weed, but God designed the dandelion in a magnificent way. First, the dandelion is very hardy. It can withstand very dry weather, even drought conditions. It can also survive extreme heat. The dandelion does this by growing a very long root into the ground. Sometime the root can be as long as 20 inches. So although the soil is dry on top, the root reaches down deep to find enough water to live.

How can we, as Christians, withstand hardships and difficulties in our life? When things don’t go right, when we lose a loved one, get sick, or when we are faced with a difficult task, how can stand firm in our faith? The answer is by being deeply rooted in God's Word and in our walk with Him. The deeper we are rooted into God's Word, the better we can withstand what the world throws at us. Blessed are those who trust in the LORD and have made the LORD their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or worried by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they go right on producing delicious fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8 NLT

The dandelion teaches us another thing about being a Christian by the way it spreads seeds. You have probably blown a dandelion full of seeds and watched all the little parachute-like seeds blow about in the breeze at some point. In the same way, as Christians we must spread the Good News of Jesus to others. The best way to do that of course is first to be deeply rooted into God's Word.

Discussion Questions:

1. As children, what are some difficulties you face where knowing the Word of God can help?

2. Besides reading the Bible, what are other ways to grow deeper spiritual roots?
