A Heavy Burden – I

Lesson: Giving our troubles to Jesus lightens our load

Walk in carrying a heavy load of bolts, weight, etc. Tell the Children that this is the burden we carry through life. Dump them in a tub or container. Then tell them they can lighten their burden by giving their troubles to Jesus, who died on the cross so we may live a sinless life and go to heaven.

By giving our troubles to Christ,they do no go away, but they do get much lighter.

“Remember all those troubles I carried in here? Here they are!” Reach in and grab an armful of ping pong balls, each one with the message “Jesus Love Me.” (The ping pong balls were in a separate part of your burden, hidden from the Children)
