  3. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Activity1. As students enter the classroom, give each an egg and ask youth how an egg is similar to life.2. “Eggs” identallydrop your egg so that is breaks. (clean your mess up well as raw eggs can create quite a stench as they rot) Ask youth to name some of the things that shatter our lives? www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com

  4. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com 3. Pass out your egg snack to the class as you explain the fact that we can change the consistency of an egg to make it more enjoyable. Sometimes when life seems to have shattered we can make an omelet, egg salad, French toast, cakes, etc. The egg is used for a great many tasty – good foods. But it is very fragile! Our faith must be stronger – unbreakable, resting in Gods ability to work all things, even tragedies, to our good. (Romans 828) www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com

  5. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com VariationAs you are discussing the Sunday School lesson, put the eggs in a pan of boiling water. The eggs will be hard boiled by the end of the session. Ask youth to take the eggs home and eat them as a reminder of how God can take those times when we are in hot water, in difficulties, and use them to bring substance and strength to our lives. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com

  6. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com VariationPrepare a breakfast of eggs etc for the group before discussing this illustration. Test of strength – give youth the egg to hold in their hand. Using only fingers – not fingernails, rings, or finger tips, ask youth to slowly squeeze the egg and try to break it. 99% of people cannot break an egg in this manner www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com

  7. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com If someone does break an egg, no problem, you have your fragile illustration already performed for you as well as a few complaints about the mess. If no one can break it, you can still break one yourself. If no one can break his/her egg, you can use this as an illustration of how God protects us by keeping us in the palm of his hand. (John 10:28-29) And when he does allow a tragedy, it is for a purpose, just as a cook has to break an egg to use it. www.CreativeEasterIdeas.com
