OBJECT: A capital “U.” (Make two “U’s” out of cardboard, about four inches across and six inches high. Put the points together, making a large cipher. Join them together with a piece of white paper which completely covers both. Fold the white sides to gether, giving the appearance of a “ U.” Color one side of the “U” black and the other side gold.) LESSON: What is the matter with this “ U” ? “ It is black, suggesting sin.” Yes, it is a sin to be proud. The sinner always wants to exalt himself. This is the reason Christ said, “ For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted” (Luke 14:11). In 1 Peter 5:6 we read, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.” This black “ U” reminds me of proud people who are trying to exalt themselves. (Hold the “ U” in the right hand with the fingers toward the audience.) If the sinner is ever to please God, he must be cleansed and humbled* under the hand of God. We see what happens when a proud sinner accepts Christ as his Saviour. (Drop the “U” beneath the hand, allowing it to be come a white cipher.) It is changed from a black “ U” to a white cipher as the sinner admits t ha t he is nothing. This humble cipher reminds me of King David. In 2 Samuel 7:18 we read, “ Then went King David in, and sat before the L o r d , and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?” David was humble in the presence of God. God has promised to exalt those who are humble. This is what hap pened to David. (Lift the cipher above the hand with thumb toward the audience.) The “U” is now gold, speaking of glory. David was exalted to a place of glory because he was humble in the presence of God. If you are saved and willing to be nothing for Christ, you will be exalted in due time. END.
