Sin Fishing

Theme:       The fish is attracted by the fisherman’s bright fly and the delicious looking wiggling worm. And even though the fish senses there is a hook somewhere, he lets his curiosity and hunger over-rule his better judgement. And the same is true of our attitude toward sin. We know the danger is there but the bright color and the pleasant action can make us turn a blind eye to the danger. This can happen with any kind of sin, and at any age, in everything including drugs and alcohol. And before we know it . . we are hooked.
Bible Reference:     Romans 6:/p>

Mark:        Whatcha doin’ Grampa?

 

Grampa:      Fishin’.

 

Mark:        Catchin’ fish Grampa?

 

Grampa:      Well, seems I’m not catchin’ fish, seems like so far I am just fishin’ for fish.

 

Grampa reels in the hook

 

Mark:        Wow, that there is for sure bright colors.

 

Grampa:      That there is the fly. It’s all bright colors so the fish will see it right away and be attracted to it.

 

Mark, points at the hook:
What’s that called Grampa?

 

Grampa:      That there’s the hook Mark. . .  You need to be careful of that, it’s very sharp and you could get it stuck in your finger. . .  Hurts a lot and hard to get out.

 

Grampa puts the worm on the hook

 

Mark:        Ewwwww, that worm’s kinda yucky, wigglin’ and all!

 

Grampa:      Well all that wigglin’ it attracts the fish.

 

Mark:        And the bright colored fly, what’s it for?

 

Grampa:      The color it gets the fish’s attention, makes him swim closer. And when the fish gets closer it can see the action of the worm and now he’s really interested.

 

Mark:        But there’s a sharp hook there, doesn’t that scare the fish away?

 

Grampa:      Well Mark, fact is, if the fish looks close enough he can see the hook, but the  bright colors of the fly and the action of the worm are usually too much for the fish and . .

 

Mark:        And he opens his big mouth. . .

 

Grampa, giggles:
Yup, he opens his big mouth . .

 

Mark:        And he is hooked.
