All Pumpkins Look Different
Pumpkins come in all different shapes, sizes, and colors.
On the outside, all pumpkins are unique in one way or the other.
All people look different on the outside.
Some are tall and some are short.
Some thicker and some skinnier.
Some have brown hair and others blonde.
Some have blue eyes while others have green eyes.
Cut Off The Top Of The Pumpkin
Regardless of how a pumpkin looks on the outside, they all have one thing in common.
When you cut off the top of the pumpkin, they have the same stuff on the inside.
They are filled with pulp/guts and seeds.
When you are carving a pumpkin, you have to cut off the top and get this stuff out.
All people, regardless of how they look on the outside, have the same stuff on the inside.
We all have sin in our lives.
When you go to clean out your pumpkin, you have to take your hands and dig this stiff out.
If you have ever done that, you know how ooey, gooey, and sticky that stuff is.
It is slimy and sticky.
It is also hard to get off.
This sin that is inside of us is like that ooey, gooey pulp that is inside of a pumpkin.
Sin is sticky and slimy.
When you allow a sinful act to become a habit in your life, it is so hard to get rid of that sin.
It just seems to hang on and never let go, no matter how hard you try to change it.
Cleaning The Pumpkin
You and I both know that no pumpkin can remove the guts from itself.
That pumpkin needs help from someone like you and me to help it get that mess out of there.
We cannot remove the sin from our own lives.
Like the pumpkin, we too need someone outside of ourselves to help remove the ooey, gooey sin from our lives.
Carving The Pumpkin
After you clean the pumpkin out, you carve a happy image into the side of it.
When you are done carving your pumpkin, that pumpkin does not even look anything like it did before.
It looks like a whole new pumpkin.
God does the same thing with us when we devote our lives to Him.
When we put our trust in Jesus, He begins to do something inside of us that changes who we are.
We begin to act differently, talk differently, and just be different people.
God makes us better and more faithful to Him, by showing us a better way of living life.
Putting A Light In The Pumpkin
When we are done cleaning and carving the pumpkin, it is time to put it outside on display so that others can see it.
We usually stick a light inside of it so that people driving by can see the creation that we made.
That light simply makes the image on that pumpkin pop so that others can see it clearly.
As God begins to change us, He puts His light inside of us to showcase His work.
He shows others what a wonderful He job in your life by putting that light inside of you.
As that light shines, people can see the creation that God made as they pass by.
It is so beautiful that it makes them want that light too.
