Object:
a picture of a sun (could be a sunset or sunrise) or wear
sunglasses
The sun is always with us. We can't see it here this morning
because we are inside the church building, but we know the sun is
outside. Sometimes clouds hide it from our view. At nighttime it
seems like the sun is gone, but it isn't. Where is the sun when
it's nighttime? (Let them answer.) We always have the sun --
whether we see it or not.
Jesus promised to always be with us, too. We cannot see Jesus,
but we know he is always with us. Just like the sun that is
there, whether we see it or not, Jesus is there for us, as well.
