Coming As a Thief

SCRIPTURE TEXT: 2 Peter 3:10, first part.
How do thieves come?—“Still.” When do they come?—“When not expected.” “In the night.” A brief experience may be related.
From whom do thieves steal?—From those who leave money or jewels unguarded. Tell how men guard against thieves by making safes and strong boxes of steel. Even safes and vaults are broken, but there is a safe in which we can place money and treasure where thieves can never get them. Matt. 6:20.
Show picture of safe, or have one drawn on blackboard.
“The day of the Lord will come as a thief.” Will any children be surprised? Some will be ready. Who will it be? 1 Thess. 5:1, 2, 4.
What must we do so that day will not come as a thief to us?—“Get ready.” “Pray.” “Watch.” Luke 12:37-40; 2 Peter 3:14, 17. Must hide in God. Ps. 32:7.
