Puppet Ministry Puppet Script on Grace and Rewards. CLICK HERE for the Easy to Print Puppet Script about the difference between grace and rewards from Puppets for Jesus Puppet Ministry.
Leader: Hold on; wait a minute; what is this all about?
Puppet: I’m going to heaven and I’m excited!
Leader: That’s great! You should be excited.
Puppet: I’m so good, and that is why I am going to heaven. I earned it! Yes
sir, I earned it!
Leader: Back up! Nobody can EARN their way into heaven. Nobody really
DESERVES to go to heaven.
Puppet: I really am so good.
Leader: I know you are, but sometimes you still sin, right? The Bible says that we have all sinned.
Puppet: Sometimes I still sin, but I don’t really mean to, and I’ve been praying every
day, and God has been helping me, so I only sin a little bit, and if I realize
I sin I always pray & ask God to forgive me.
Leader: That is exactly what you are supposed to do, but what if God did
not forgive you.
Puppet: God ALWAYS forgives us because Jesus died on the cross for our
sins. God forgives and forgets all our sins when we repent because Jesus died
for us.
Leader: That’s right. The blood of Jesus washes our sins away so we can go
to heaven. We cannot EARN our way into heaven. Only the grace of God allows us
enter God’s kingdom.
Puppet: The Grace of God? Who is Grace? Does she hold the key to
the gate of heaven?
Leader: Not who, but what?
Puppet: What?
Leader: Grace means something given to us that we really do not deserve.
Puppet: Like a gift?
Leader: Exactly like a gift. A gift that is available to all of us no
matter what we have done or who we are. All we have to do is ask and believe
Jesus to be Lord of our life.
Puppet: (sadly) I’m
bummed out now.
Leader: Why in the world would you be bummed out? We are talking about
God’s gift of salvation through His grace & Jesus. If it were not for God’s
grace, you would not get into heaven at all. What is there to be bummed out about?
Puppet: That part is really exciting, but I thought I was getting a reward
for being good.
Leader: You have nothing to be bummed out about! You are getting into heaven by the
grace of God. That is a free gift but rewards are something that you earn by
being good and doing good deeds. When we get to heaven there will be all kinds
of rewards passed out. You will get a reward for every good thing that you’ve
done in your life.
Puppet: Really, we are still going to get rewards?
Leader: You better believe it! Every time you help someone or give to others without bragging, God sets aside a special reward for you. I am sure you will have many rewards waiting for you when you get to heaven. Don’t you worry!
Puppet: Oh yeah... uh huh... I’m going to heaven by the grace of God... But
Jesus is giving me rewards because HE is soooo good. Rewards for me cuz JESUS
is so soooo good!
Leader: I am so proud of you for not bragging! This time you said Jesus was so good instead of saying that you were so good. We should not brag or boast about our good works or we will not get the reward in heaven.
Puppet: Yep, I was listening, but I am not bragging about listening; I am just stating the facts! Byeeeeeeeeeeeee everybody. See you on reward day!
