Set-up: Hide your purse or wallet somewhere very difficult to find (but still safe and appropriate)
Instructions:
- Say: “I have something very valuable to me hidden somewhere in this room. You have three minutes to help me find it. Ready… go!” After 3 minutes, stop them.
- If they don't find it, show them its location
- Say: “Something like this really happened in the Bible. Jesus Christ was missing—not for 3 minutes… not for 3 hours… but for three days.”
- How do you think Jesus' parents felt when they couldn't find Him?
- Did God know where Jesus was? (Yes) Why didn’t God just tell Joseph and Mary where Jesus was? (God wasn’t trying to be mean. He wanted them to remember just how valuable and important Jesus was and what an important responsibility they had to care for Jesus.)
- Is it possible for us to still lose Jesus? (Yes, if we don't spend time with Jesus every day, we can lose Him.)
- If we lose Jesus, can we find Him again? (Yes! Jesus promises that those who seek Him diligently will find Him!)
