The Pumpkin Theme Let the love of Jesus shine through Object A Jack o Lantern Scripture But you were washed you were sanctified you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God 1 Corinthians 611 (NIV) In the same way let your light shine before men that they may see your good deeds and praise your Fa-ther in heaven Matthew 516 (NIV) As I am sure all of you know Halloween is coming soon Many of you will dress up in cos-
tumes and go trick-or-treating If you do remember to be safe You should only go to the homes of people you know very well You know -- close friends and family Never go trick-or-treating to homes of people that you do not know
How many of you have ever made a Jack o Lantern If you have you know that the first thing you do when making a Jack o Lantern is to clean up your pumpkin by washing off the dirt and mud Then you cut a hole in the top of the pumpkin and clean out the inside You scoop out all the seeds and yucky stuff
The next thing you do is to carve a face You cut out the eyes nose and mouth I dont know about you but I always like to put a smile on my Jack o Lantern
The next step is to put a candle inside the Jack o Lantern Then you light the candle so that the light will shine through the eyes nose and mouth
Finally when all is finished you place the Jack o Lantern in the window so that all who pass by your house will see its light
You know I was thinking This is a pretty good picture of what happens when we invite Jesus into our heart
When we become a Christian Jesus picks us up and cleanses our life from sin He removes all the yucky thoughts and the seeds of doubt hate and selfishness that we have inside Then he puts a smile on our face and puts his light inside to shine for all the world to see
I dont know what you think of when you see a Jack o Lantern but I hope that this Halloween you will think of Jesus Think about how he came to take away the sins of the world and put his light in our hearts to shine for him
Dear Jesus help us to let our light shine so that others will see our good works and glorify our Father in Heaven
