Day 1 Virtue Demo: OBEDIENCE
You’ll need:
- Large plate
- 1 raw egg
Our virtue demonstration today teaches us about the virtue of obedience.
Explain:
Today’s virtue is OBEDIENCE.
Who can tell me what obedience means?
Doing God’s will and following His commandments, the act of obeying, etc.
I’m going to do a little demonstration about obedience using this egg.
Ask:
What would happen if I let go of this egg?
It would fall and break.
That’s because the law of gravity says that if I drop something it will fall. If you don’t obey the law of gravity, you could get hurt. (give examples) Like if you jump off the roof of your house, you will fall and get hurt.
Demonstrate:
Invite a child to demonstrate. Hold the egg five feet from the plate and drop it, or ask the child throw it at you and accidentally drop it onto a plate.
It is similar with God’s laws. If we don’t obey God’s laws and commandments, we could get hurt. Our hearts can be easily broken, just like the egg. That’s what sin does… it breaks, hurts, and wounds our hearts.
The Bible says:
“Children, obey your parents in everything, for this is pleasing to the Lord.” (Colossians 3:20)
Mary is a great example of someone who was very obedient to God. Mary said “Yes” to God and she became the Mother of Jesus. She said: “May it be done unto me, according to your Word.” (Bible verse of the day) That “Yes” ultimately made her our mother too: our Heavenly Mother! Let’s give 3 cheers for Mary!
