A piece of string illustrates that sin entangles us and that we need Jesus to free us.
Tie the 2 ends of the string together to form a loop.
Practice the steps below several times with a friend to make sure you can do this smoothly.
Hold up the string to show that it’s a loop.
Hold up the string around the Pinkies and Thumbs of both hands.
Using your Right Middle Finger, reach across to hook the string from your left hand.
Using your Left Middle Finger, reach across to hook the string from your right hand.
Ask the child to put his hand inside the centre diamond.
Ask the child to keep his hand inside the diamond.
Ensure that both your thumbs have a grip on the string.
Then release the string from your other fingers.
The child’s hand should be caught inside the loop.
With the child’s hand caught inside the loop, repeat Steps 2, 3 & 4 to form another diamond.
Note: The order of the steps is very important; right hand first, then the left.
Ask the child to raise the same hand that is caught inside the loop up through the diamond.
Ensure that both your thumbs have a grip on the string.
Then release the string from your other fingers.
The child’s hand should be released from the loop.
