Description of Idea
I pulled out sunglasses and had them on the table. I asked if anyone had seen the videos of people who were colorblind putting on glasses to see color for the first time. And then went on to talk about how different you would view the world if it were only in black and white.

How do we see the world? Create 2 teams and choose a detective for each team (smaller groups – one group, one detective). Line up the 2 groups facing each other. Give them 15-30 seconds to observe one another. The detective/second group leaves the room while the first group changes 10 things about their appearance that are somewhat obvious. Provide items such as pencils to put behind ears, scarves, costume jewelry, glasses etc, to help with the transformation. Once the detective/second group returns, give them a set amount of time to try to observe the 10 changes and write them down. See how they can detect, Switch groups, then swap roles. This could lead to a fun discussion about being careful students of the Bible.

Listen to a variety of answers to the question, “Who was Jesus?”
Here is a great video to go along with the idea that when we have glasses that help us see we can experience a whole new world. This video is about color blind people who are given a new type of glasses to change their perspective on the world. This is the same experience we often have when we study God’s word and see the world differently.
