The SchoolyardIllustration
When the schoolyard is surrounded by heavily
trafficked streets but hasno fence,
many children will tend toplay close to the school wall
for saftey
But some can forget thedanger, following the
ball as it rolls into traffic
The principal cared about thechildrens' safety and built
a fence around the schoolyard to keep the kids safe within the fence
Now, all the kids could playfreely and safely throughout the
schoolyard
Life is like a schoolyard
Freedom from danger is found within the fence
We are here to learn,make friends and
have fun!
Without a fence, we can easilyfall into danger by "following
the ball" ...
We can cause ourselvesa lot of trouble and harmoutside of the green area
We read in the Bible that God has givenus 2 simple rules to live by so that we
can live in freedom within theirboundaries - just like the fence.
#1. Love the Lord your Godwith all your life
LUKE 10:27
#2. Love your neighbour as you love yourself
LUKE 10:27
If we all lived by these 2 rules, the world would be a great"schoolyard".
Don't you think so?
