God will give back to you more, much more, than you could ever give to Him
This is a fun object lesson / Gospel magic routine by Rick Lenski based on the Square Circle Magic Trick. If you have never see this trick in action, you can watch a random demonstration video below. You can buy this magic trick here through Ebay and here through Amazon.
In this idea we will use the Square Circle Magic Trick (or a change bag) to look at the story of the Good Samaritan and the theme of sharing.
“Give and it will be given to you, a good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” (Luke 6:38 & Luke 10:30-37)
Needed:
- Square circle magic trick or a change bag
- one small bag of M&M candy
- one large bag of M&M candy
The size or the square circle or change bag you will be using will determine the size of the large bag of candy.
Note: I combine the above verses to teach our class about sharing (giving and receiving). After reading the story about the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:30-37) and the verse in Luke 6:38, we use the following message to reinforce the lesson.
The object lesson
At this time the square circle is put out for use.
Everybody likes candy. I do. This is my candy store, but there is one small problem with it. It’s empty! But don’t fear, here comes my delivery truck.
Bring the insert for the square circle, with both bags of candy inside, and put it into the square and produce the small bag of bag of candy.
Now we have a candy store filled with candy and an empty delivery truck.
