joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, good ness, faith, meekness, temperance.” We will let these flowers picture the fruit of the Spirit. Let us place them in the flower pot to represent a person who is ful filling God’s plan and is bearing the fruit of the Spirit. We will first insert this beautiful flower that pictures “love.” (Place the flower in one of the slits made in the cardboard. Then add the flowers for “joy,” “peace,” “long-suffering,” etc. The flower pot is not empty now; it is doing what its maker expected it to do. When the fruit of the Spirit can be seen in our lives, we will be fulfilling our heavenly
To Zakaria’s great joy, his father did not put off the matter till too Idte, for he soon believed in the Lord Jesus as his Saviour. How glad Zakaria was that he had gone back in time to tell his father about the Saviour! Is there some one that we can tell about the Lord Jesus today? A Springtime Object Lesson Objects: An earthen flower pot and a round piece of cardboard cut to fit in the top part of the pot, the cardboard having nine slits. (Print the word “Christ” on the cardboard, and paste a red cross below the name. Mount on cardboard nine different colored flowers from a seed catalogue, and print on the backs the names of the fruit of the Spirit as given in Galatians 5:22,23. Or, if suitable fresh flowers are available, they would be more desirable, labeled con spicuously with the nine names listed in the passage.) Lesson: Springtime is garden time, isn’t it? It is the time to plant seeds and to watch them grow into beautiful fragrant plants. It is the time, too, to hunt up the old brown flower pots that have been stored away during the long winter months. This flower pot is surely not very beautiful, is it? It is empty and dirty and ordinary. But the one who designed it did not mean it should be like that. He made it to hold a growing plant with flowers shedding forth a delicate perfume. The lives of boys and girls and men and women are often very much like this empty brown flower pot, for the life of a person who does not know the Lord Jesus as Saviour is empty indeed. Christ is standing at heart doors today, knocking, knocking. Hear the words of Revelation 3:20: “Be hold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in.” Yes, the Lord Jesus is long ing for boys and girls and older people to hear His voice and open their hearts’ doors. Then He will come in to be their Saviour. He will make them His children and will fill their lives with joy and happiness. We will suppose that this empty pot represents a boy or girl who one day re ceived the Lord Jesus as Saviour. Here in the top of the flower pot we will place this round piece of cardboard on which the name of Christ has been written and on which a cross is plainly seen. See how the emptiness is taken awayl The Lord Jesus fills a life and completely sat&fies all who will allow Him to come in and have the whole life. With Christ filling a life, there is sure to be seen the fruit of the Spirit. Just as this flower pot was made to hold plants that bloom and shed forth fragrance, so God, our heavenly Father, has a best plan for each life. He is not willing that any should perish or be lost. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his ony begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). It is according to His plan, too, that the lives of those who have accepted the Lord Jesus as Saviour should bear fruit. In Galatians 5:22, 23 we find the names of the fruit of the Spijit. Let us read these verses: “But the fruit of the Spirit is love,
Father’s plan for us. Our lives will become beautiful and will shed forth in every place a sweet perfume that lets others know that we belong to the Lord Jesus. “For we are unto God a sweet savor [fragrance] of Christ” (2 Cor. 2:15). [This object lesson was suggested by Mrs. Sylvia Butz, who went to be with the Lord during this past year. She loved boys and girls, and it was her sincere desire that her object lessons might continue to be used in winning more boys and girls for the Lord Jesus. — E ditor .] Memory Work Question: Where is God’s Word settled? Answer: “For ever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven” (Psa. 119:89). Question: What did the Lord Jesus say will never pass away? Answer: “Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away” (Matt. 24:35). Question: What should be one’s attitude toward God’s Word? Answer: “I rejoice at thy word, as one that findeth great spoil” (Psa. 119:162). “Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold” (Psa. 119:127). “Thy word is very pure; therefore thy servant loveth it”. (Psa. 119:140). Question: Why should we hide God’s Word in our hearts? Answer: “Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee” (Psa. 119:11). New K. Y. B. C.
