🎶 O P E N I N G S O N G : "When He Comes Again”
➤ I N T R O D U C T I O N
Align the toothpicks and the paperclips in a row on a table or a flat surface. Hold up the magnet,
then discuss the following questions.
1) What do you think will happen if I hold this magnet near the paper clips? (The paperclips
will stick to the magnet!)
2) What do you think will happen if I hold this magnet near the toothpicks? (Nothing! The
toothpicks will stay on the table.)
3) Why will the paperclips go to the magnet? (Because they are magnetic and they want to
go to the magnet.)
4) Why won’t the toothpicks go to the magnet? (Because wood is non-magnetic, so wood
does not want to go to the magnet.)
Explain that Jesus Christ will come again to the Earth. When He comes again, He won’t
be a baby. He will come as a king with great power and glory! If we are prepared and we have turned
our hearts to Him, we will have joy when we see Him, and we will want to go to Him when He gathers His saints! (Use the magnet to gather the paper clips!)
But if we are not prepared and if we have turned our hearts away from Him, we will be afraid and
ashamed. We will want to hide from Him. (Use the magnet to show how the toothpicks reject the
magnet and will not go to it.)

4) What is the bus a symbol of? (It’s a symbol of Jesus Christ’s second coming.)
5) What do we need to do to be prepared for Jesus Christ’s second coming? (Discuss things
like studying the scriptures, strengthening our testimonies, sharing the gospel with others, and
keeping the commandments.)
6) Can we prepare really fast if He comes suddenly? Or do we need to prepare early? (We
need to prepare early.)
