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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!
