Review questions for TABERNACLE #6:

1. What color were the clothes of the priests? (White.) 2. What does the white linen remind us of? (Cleanness or righteousness of God.) 3. What was at the bottom of the blue robe that the high priest wore? (Gold bells and pomegranates

–a fruit that looks like an apple.) 4. What color was the ephod made of? (Blue, purple, scarlet, and gold.) 5. Describe the breastplate that the high priest wore? (It has 12 stones on it with the names of the tribes

of Israel engraved on the stones.) 6. Name two places where the high priest had the names of the tribes on his garments. (On his

shoulders where the ephod was fastened and on the breastplate.) 7. Why does the high priest have the names of the tribes of Israel on his shoulders and on the

breastplate? (The shoulders are the place of strength; the high priest prays for the people so they willbe strong in hard places. The breastplate is near the heart; it shows he loves them very much.)

8. Why were there bells on the bottom of the high priest’s garment? (When the people heard the bells,they were reminded of God, and they knew the high priest was doing God’s work.)

9. How often did the high priest wear these beautiful garments? (Every day except the Day ofAtonement.)

10. What did the high priest wear on the Day of Atonement? (A plain white robe.)11. How does the high priest, wearing a plain white robe on the Day of Atonement, remind us of

Jesus? (Jesus left the beauty of Heaven and came to earth to die for us.)12. What showed the people that God’s presence was there in the Tabernacle? (There was a cloud right

THE TABERNACLE – LESSON #6“The High Priest”

John 14:6 – “Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, butby Me.’”(The underlined portion of the verse indicates what the younger children should memorize.) T USE the visual and let the children read the verse with you.

T READ the verse from your Bible while holding the visualso the children can follow along.

T DO MOTIONS together with the children while youEXPLAIN the verse as follows:

John 14:6(Hold hands as an open Bible.)

“Jesus saith unto him, ‘I am the Way,’”(Raise one finger.)

“‘the Truth,’” (Raise two fingers.)

“‘and the Life;’” (Raise three fingers.)

“‘no man cometh unto the Father,’”(Shake head “no” and cross hands backand forth in front of you. Then pointtoward Heaven.)

“‘but by Me.’” (Make cross with pointer fingers.)

John 14:6(Hold hands as an open Bible.)

– This is the address (where the verse is located in theBible). This verse is found in the book of John,chapter 14, verse 6.

– Jesus is saying that He is the only way to get toHeaven.

– Jesus is God’s perfect Son. He could never lie.Everything He said was true.

– Jesus is the only One who can give us life foreverwith God in Heaven when our life on earth is over.

– No one can go to Heaven where God lives on theirown.

– You can’t buy your way into Heaven with money. Doing good things, being baptized, or going tochurch will not get you to God. The only way is bytrusting Jesus to be your personal Saviour.

– The book of John, chapter 14, verse 6.

T DRILL the verse with the activity listed on the Tabernacle #6 Agenda.

THE TABERNACLE #6 – “The High Priest”

MEMORY VERSE: Shortened verseJohn 14:6 – “. . . ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no man cometh unto the Father, but byMe.’”

Can be sung to the tune of “God Is So Good.”God is so good. God is so good.“. . . ‘I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life;”

God is so good. He’s so good to me.“no man cometh unto the Fath- er, but by Me.’”

John 14:6 – Hold hands as an open Bible.“. . . ‘I am the Way,” – Put up one finger.“the Truth,” – Put up second finger.“and the Life;” – Add third finger.“no man cometh unto” – Shake head from side to side, as saying “no.”“the Father,” – Point to Heaven.“but by Me.’” – Clap on each word.John 14:6 – Hold hands as an open Bible.

BIBLE LESSON HELPS:Main Truth – Each time Main Thrust is repeated, have children do the following motions. On

“God,” point to Heaven. On “you,” point to self. On “love,” use both hands tomake a heart shape, moving them from top center around to bottom point. On“deeply,” forearms crossed in front of your chest.

Illustration 14 – As Aaron, put long, blue robe over white linen robe. Put on shorter, sleevelessone (ephod).

– Put an onyx stone on both shoulders to fasten robe.

Illustration 15 – Count aloud together the stones on the breastplate.– Take off turban and say, “Holiness unto the Lord.”– Walk in place and make the sound of the bells ringing.

Illustration 16 – Touch your shoulder and say, “Jesus carries me.” (That means He helps me inhard times.) Place your hand over your heart and say, “Jesus loves me verymuch.”

– Review events of Jesus’ life with these motions:– “Left Heaven” - Bring raised arms down.– “Came as a baby” - Arms as if holding a baby.– “Died for our sins” - Make cross with pointer fingers.– “Arose from the grave” - Starting with arms low, move them upward.– “Lives in Heaven” - Point to Heaven.

BIBLE LEARNING GAME: “Showing Love to Others”Have children sit in circle with you in center. Pass around a bell while singing or saying memoryverse together. At the end, child holding bell stands by you as you say, “God showed His love tous by sending Jesus to die for our sins. We can show our love for God by loving His people.” Childnames one way we can show love to others. Play again.

GO AND TELL BOX Week #20 – Who are the Snavelys?

(Suggested item to put in the “Go and Tell” Box – picture of bird.)

What do you think a bird has to do with going and telling? (Letthe children share their ideas.)

The bird tells me something interesting about our missionary fromwhen he was a boy. Listen closely, and you will find out why.

WHO ARE THE SNAVELYS? (Use WHO wordstrip.)

This week we will begin to talk about Mr. and Mrs. Mike Snavely. We will call themMr. Mike and Mrs. Carrie. (Show their picture.) Mr. Mike was born in South Africa,where he lived with his parents, who were also missionaries. His father was a missionarypilot. Mr. Mike asked Jesus to be his Saviour when he was a child.

Life was always an adventure for Mr. Mike because he was fascinated with animals andwould bring different ones home as pets. Some of them included: monkeys, birds,chamaeleons, and snakes. Mr. Mike uses his interest and the knowledge that he haslearned about God’s creatures when he speaks to people about God, the awesomeCreator.

Mrs. Carrie was born and grew up near Hershey, Pennsylvania. She was raised in aChristian home and asked Jesus to be her Saviour when she was just ten years old. Asa teenager, she grew in her faith and later attended Lancaster Bible College. Mr. Mikeand Mrs. Carrie now live in Jonestown, Pennsylvania which is not far from Hershey.They will be moving soon into a new home where they can have more rooms for theirmissionary projects.

LET’S PRAY FOR OUR MISSIONARIES.

THANK God for the Snavelys and for their willingness to serve as missionaries, tellingpeople about our wonderful creator God.

PRAY that Mr. Mike will have wisdom as he prepares lessons to teach about creation. ASK God to help Mrs. Carrie as she schedules their teaching meetings.
