You Will See Me
Children's Activity
Object:
Teachers: A portion of today's lesson is: "In a little while
the world will no longer see me, but you will see me." With this
theme suggest that students create a project where only they can
see Jesus. Have the students write "Jesus" using a writing style
of straight lines, dots, circles, squares or similar patterns,
instead of traditional letters. The object is to change the
letters so that the student easily sees Jesus while other persons
will need to study the drawing to see Jesus' name. After the
student creates the word "Jesus" in whatever design chosen,
suggest that the entire piece of paper is decorated or colored.
Parents: Here is a project to try under parental supervision rather than with a teacher, since it requires a candle or flame. Help your child write the name "Jesus" in invisible ink. Here is how to do it: Try milk or juice from a lemon or onion. Dip pen or pointed match stick into the ink and write the message on ordinary paper. To reveal the message warm the paper gently over a candle flame. You will discover that heat causes chemical changes in the ink. The ink will become brown and readable. Remember the lesson says: "In a little while the world will no longer see me, but you will see me."
