Ideas for puzzles, "seeing" Jesus, etc.

The top random brown shapes are puzzle pieces that you can move around to form the name Jesus (seen below).

If you can't see the name "Jesus" above, that's sort of the point. Have someone point it out to you (testify!).  Hint: Look at the white space, not the brown.

Attached is a larger version.


Next is a popsicle stick assembly that can be made to spell out the word "Jesus."

The first row of five squares are slots to put the other pieces into.

The second row has the pieces in the correct position prior to moving them up into each box to spell Jesus. It's very similar to the brown puzzle above.

Again, the point is that some people see Jesus, some people don't. Some just need help.




Same thing with this next eye-puzzle. It's a picture of shadows in the snow that looks like a picture of Jesus. I've written about it in the Road to Emmaus forum here at rotation.  It's also a reflection activity in Sunday Software's "Jesus in Space" CD, the Road to Emmaus story.

The true story about this photo of shadows in the snow is that it was taken many years ago around Bear Lake Calif by a man who showed it to his family. His daughter is still alive and remembers the photo hanging in their house. She gave us permission to use it to teach with. It got picked up in some 1970's youth material and the story morphed, though the photo remained unchanged.  The process of seeing the image of Jesus is ANALOGOUS to the process many people go through believing in Jesus and seeing him in their lives. Some get it right away, others need help.

For the key picture, look in my "Jesus in Space Guide", it's on page 3
