Treasure Hunt 3

DAY 4 OF 5

Go Ahead And Shout!

Hook

Do you know what the word for slate (a kind of rock) in Malaysia is? Easy! It’s; “sejenis batu berwarna kelabu kebiru-biruan yang selalu digunakan sebagai atap ruman”

Haha! Try to say that ten times fast! 

Actually, half the world speaks more than one language…So, how many languages can you speak? 

Now think of this—try learning a language when you can’t hear…or see! Do you know about Helen Keller? When she was a baby, she got sick with a fever. Because of that, she became both blind and deaf. That’s right, she couldn’t see or hear. Imagine what that would be like? Complete blackness and total silence. Even walking across a room would be hard! 

But then, Helen learned to communicate by making signs with her hands and feeling the signs in the hands of other people. And Helen didn’t just learn sign language, she also learned English…and not just English, but also French and even German! Without seeing, or ever hearing words!!! And you know what? Helen talked about God to the whole world.

Helen never made excuses because of her problems, and this Bible verse really sums up her life…

Book

Give praise to the LORD. Make his name known. Tell the nations what he has done. Announce how honored he is. Sing to the LORD. He has done glorious things. Let it be known all over the world.
Isaiah 12:4b-5 (NIRV)

Look

Let’s look closer at what this verse tells us to do: What goes in the blank? Give______. Make_______. Tell_______.


OK—tell nations about God…what does it mean by “nations”?

It seems like it means the whole world, doesn’t it? So, we are to tell (testify) the great things God has done—to everyone, everywhere!

Can you do that? Well, Helen Keller did. By comparison, it’s way easier for most of us, right? (And Helen didn’t have the World Wide Web or Instagram either!) If we can see and hear and talk, we can testify easily. 

Took

It is easy, and here’s how…

Finish this sentence: 

Jesus is awesome to me because ________________________________.


Now, find one or more people, who don’t know Jesus, and tell them that.

Jesus will certainly smile when you do.


BTW, you ROCK!
