3. Demonstration
1. Put on the glove.
2. Demonstrate the incredible things that can be done by a “glove”. It can
pick something up. It can squeeze a toy. It can scratch your head. Make
a fist. Point a finger at someone. Wave a finger in warning. Cover your
mouth. squeeze your nose. Tap on a desk. And do so many other things.
Make sure that you explain through out that the “glove” is an incredible
creation.

4. 3. Take your hand out of the glove and then ask it to do the
same things you just demonstrated. Look a little puzzled
and confused when nothing happens. What’s the problem?

5. Discussion
The reality is, it is not the “glove” that does these things, but the
hand inside. The glove is only a container for the hand. Without the
hand the glove is lifeless. God created us also with two parts. There
is a body and a spirit. The body is just the container. Your body has
to have a spirit inside, or it wouldn’t be alive and able to interact
with the physical world around us. When we die, the spirit leaves
the body and the body becomes lifeless. The person that was inside
the body still exists, but they are now someplace else.

6. But for Christians, God can put the body and the spirit back
together again. That’s exactly what happened on Easter morning.
Christ’s spirit was back in his body again. The most exciting thing is
that God wants to do the same thing for us. When someone dies
their body and the spirit are separated for a time. But some day
God will raise us back up in a new body.

7. Closing Application
Just as Christ raised Christ from the dead and placed
him in a resurrected body, God will one day raise us
from the dead into a resurrected body to be with him
forever.

8. Variation
Use two different gloves… an old, dirty, worn one and a nice
new one. Replace the old glove with the new one explaining
that in the resurrection we will have a new resurrected body
that will last forever!
