WALKING IN THE
LIGHT
PUPPETS: Gerry, and Sally
PROPS: None
GOAL: To show that being cool (walking in darkness) can be dangerous!
Gerry: Good morning Sally!
Sally: Good morning! Is that you Gerry?
Gerry: Yes, of course it’s me! What’s wrong? Can’t you see me?
Sally: Well, yes, and no! I see something, but with these sunglasses, I can’t tell WHO or what things are!
Sally walks along and stumbles into something
Sally: Ouch! I have bumped my knee five times so far today!
Gerry: Sally, why are you wearing those sunglasses around here?
Sally: Because it’s COOL! Everybody is wearing them! Don’t you think I look cool Gerry? All my friends tell me I do!
Gerry: Uh, well, I dunno…
Gerry walks around Sally and tries to get a good look at her from different angles. Sally keeps looking in the same direction not knowing that he has moved away
Sally: Well, anyway, I think it is cool to walk in the dark… hey, where did you go?
Gerry: I’m right here.
Sally: Now stop that! Stay still! You make me nervous when you move like that!
Sally moves toward him and bumps into something again
Sally: Ouch! Now THAT really hurt!
Gerry: Sally, I got to tell you… this walking in darkness bit is dangerous! Did you know that the Bible tells us that we are supposed to walk “in the light?”
Sally: It does?
Gerry: Yes. In Ephesians 5:8 “For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light.”
Sally: What does that mean?
Gerry: It means that we learn and obey God’s word, and let Jesus guide us instead of our friends!
Sally: But, but, is it cool to follow the Bible?
Gerry: Sally, being a Christian means not worrying about “being cool.” It is better than being a fool, constantly bumping into things, and hurting yourself, and sometimes not even knowing WHO you are talking to
Sally takes off her glasses
Sally: I think I want to walk in “the light.” It really is a whole lot better!
Gerry: Good! I think so too! Now, let’s go find out what they are teaching in Sunday School class today!
