Object Lesson★★★★Object Lesson: Real vs. Fake - Being True Disciples of Jesus Materials Needed: A fake $100 bill I A real $10 bill I Lesson Duration: 4 Minutes Introduction: Good morning, little disciples! Today, I have a special lesson for you using two pieces of money. I have a $100 bill and a $10 bill. Who can tell me which one they would prefer to have? Discussion: Most of you might say the $100 bill because it looks like it’s worth more. But let me tell you a secret: this $100 bill is fake! It’s what we call a counterfeit. It looks like real money but isn’t worth anything. On the other hand, this $10 bill is real and can actually buy you something.
The point
An object lesson using a fake $100 bill and a real $10 bill to teach children about the importance of being true disciples of Jesus.
The lesson
Just as there are fake bills that look real but aren't worth anything, there are people who pretend to be followers of Jesus but don't truly follow His teachings. We should always strive to be true disciples, just like the real money is valuable because it's genuine.
