The Gospel Fly Sample Dialogue
You may want to use parts of this sample dialogue when talking to a person who inquires about the Fly. Each part of a fishing fly has a meaning to a fish. Each part of the Gospel Fly can be related to a verse in the Bible that can apply to the Good News. God said in the Bible, "I will make you fishers of men". The Fly and this text is intended to help you be a fisher of men. The following dialogue is an example that you as "Man" might use when talking to a person who needs to hear the Good News as "Contact".
Contact: Hey, what kind of fly is that? or, I didn't know you were a fisherman, or, I've never seen a trout fly like that.
Man: This isn't a fishing fly for fish, it's a fly for making me a fisher of men. (Ladies may want to say something like, "This is a people fly".)
Contact: What do you mean, fisher of men/people fly?
Man: The Bible talks about Christians being "fishers of men". This fly can tell people how to know God and Jesus Christ, His Son, and how to know for sure that they are going to Heaven.
Contact: How does it do that?
Man: Well, since you asked, each color and each part of the fly has a meaning that can remind us of verses in the Bible. The dark color of the tail can remind us of sin. Its location at the back of the fly tells us to put sin behind us. The Bible says in Romans 3:23 that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.
The body is red to remind us of our heart and the blood that was shed when Jesus died for us. The Bible says in 1 John 1:7 that the blood of Jesus Christ cleanses us from all sin.
The wings of the fly are white to remind us of how we can be pure and clean after we ask Jesus into our heart. After we do that, He forgives all of our sins. We can read about that in John 1:12. The wings remind me that someday I'll meet him in the air when He comes back to take His children to Heaven. John 14:2 and 3 tells us about going to live with Jesus.
The hackle, or the gold part, reminds me of the light of God that radiates out in all directions and also of the streets in Heaven that are pure gold. The Bible tells about those streets in Revelation 21:21.
The green head reminds me of growth. God says in the Bible that we should grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord. The Bible talks about growing in 2 Peter 3:18.
What I've just told you is what's known as the "Gospel" or the "Good News" but whatever you call it, it explains how you can go to Heaven and live with Jesus forever. I know I'm going to be there. How about you?
