You could do the cut and restored rope, where you cut the rope three times.... where after you cut you have the three knots on the rope. One in the middle can be slid off, while the two on each end can be blown off - which could lead to the restoring powers of the Holy Spirit.
I know this is written up somewhere and can find it if you need. But my guess is that you know it. Let me know if you need it. Each time you cut the rope, you talk about Peter denying Christ. And then you can visually restore the rope, each time Christ forgives him on the beach. RevJohn |

I use Enchanted silks on a hanger. It is a coat hanger that holds 4 different color silks and they drop off one by on command. Below is the routine I use.
PSALM 27:1 & JOHN 18:15-21:19 REFERENCE: “The Lord is the stronghold of my life.” Peter denies Jesus. NEEDED: “Enchanted Silks on Hanger” trick, 3 each 18" silks, (one red, one blue, one yellow) and a 18" silk with a picture of Jesus on it. SETUP: Tie the silks on the hanger per the instructions except for the Jesus silk. That silk will be actually tied to the hanger so it will not fall off. As each of the three colored silks is called they will fall off. LESSON Many of us have had trouble making the lord the center of our lives, our stronghold, and our rock. We have all slipped and missed the mark but we have to hang onto Jesus in all situations. He has promised never to let us be tempted above what we can resist and we must turn to Him because we cannot make it on our own. We are not alone in this problem; even Peter the apostle had trouble with this. Peter who walked with Jesus, lived with Jesus and learned at the Master’s feet had trouble holding onto Jesus and taking a stand for Him. Let me explain. Before Jesus died on the cross, He spent his last supper with the apostles. This last supper was a time of prayer, fellowship and betrayal (Judas). (Show hanger with silks on it. At the appropriate times in the lesson have someone call out a color and it will fall off. As it falls to the ground give the appropriate response. The only silk the will not be allowed to call out is the white silk with Jesus on it. As the silk hangs there they do not know what the picture on the silk is.) Peter said he would go with the Lord wherever he was going and he would even lay down his life for Him. Jesus said, “Peter before a rooster crowed you will have denied me three times.” For three years Peter was “hanging” around Jesus and learning from Him. For all they went through during that time he should have been tightly tied to Jesus. He had just said he would die for Jesus, how could He say this to him? NOTE: Below are the responses you will use when a silk color is called by someone to fall off the hanger. 1. Blue: Peter was blues wasn’t he? It is never easy to let a friend down. To deny knowing Jesus had to make Peter very sad (blue). 2. Red: He had to be red-faced and embarrassed telling such a lie. The Lord was his friend and soon to be Savior. Never be embarrassed to admit you know and love the Lord. 3. Yellow: Yellow? Yes he was a chicken to deny knowing Jesus. Have you ever taken the easy way out when someone asked you if you were a Christian and you denied it or were afraid to admit it? Later that night they came and arrested the Lord. Peter followed at a distance with others. As he waited and warmed himself at a fire, a girl asked him if he knew Jesus. Peter answered, “I don’t know Him.” (Ask a child to pick one of the three colors and give the appropriate response as that color silk falls off.) Again someone asked Peter if he knew Jesus and again he said no. (Let a child pick one of the two remaining color silks and give the appropriate response when it falls off.) A third time he was asked if he knew Jesus and he responded, “I DON’T KNOW HIM!” In the book of Luke we read that Jesus looked right at him. That had to make Peter very sad. (Let the last colored silk fall off the hanger and give the last response. All that should be left on the hanger is the Jesus silk.) Then Peter heard a rooster crow and he went outside and wept. The Peter, who knew Jesus, laughed with Jesus, ate and cried with Jesus, let Him go when Jesus needed him most. Peter who saw people healed, the dead raised and the real power of God on earth was having trouble holding onto Jesus. Jesus was crucified and was buried. Three days later His grave was found empty. Peter when told of this ran to the grave, entered and found empty grave clothes, then we are told, he believed. He had found his stronghold, his Messiah, and he hung onto Him. (Show the Jesus silk tied tightly to the hanger.) HE LEADS, HE IS THE STRONGHOLD, HANG ONTO HIM Hope this helps. Rick |

Rick,
I like your routine. The play on the colors is nice. I was thinking about when the Resurrected Jesus asks Peter if he loves him, and each time he asks him, there is an act of restoration. Three times, for the three times he denies Jesus. And at the end, Peter is restored and brought into the graces of Jesus onces again. But, nice routine! RevJohn |
