Preschool object lessons are designed for 2-4 year olds. They provide a simplified version with shorter sentences, more repetition, basic vocabulary, and extra fun examples to engage littles.Mommy and Daddy put batteries in the smoke alarm. The batteries help it work. When the batteries get old, the smoke alarm can't beep anymore. So Mommy and Daddy change the batteries to keep us safe.
Sometimes when Mommy makes toast, it gets too hot and makes smoke. Then the smoke alarm goes BEEP BEEP BEEP! That's okay! It means the smoke alarm is working good. It's doing its job to keep us safe.
Jesus wants us to be ready for Him too! Just like we keep our smoke alarm ready, we need to keep our hearts ready for Jesus. We can pray to Jesus every day. We can sing songs about Jesus. We can listen to Bible stories about Jesus.
Jesus loves us so much! He might come back one day. We don't know when, but that's okay! We can be ready by loving Jesus every day. We pray, we sing, we listen to Bible stories. That keeps our hearts ready for Jesus!
Let's all be ready! Ready smoke alarms keep us safe from fire. Ready hearts keep us close to Jesus!
