Story
Today’s story is about a man named Nicodemus who came to
Jesus to ask him some questions. What
questions would you ask Jesus? (Let the children respond) Those are great questions. Let’s see what questions Nicodemus asked, and
what Jesus said about it.
Read “The Light of the World (Jesus and Nicodemus) ” in any children's story bible.
Lesson
Say: Why
did Jesus visit Jesus at night? (He had many questions about God and didn’t
want to wait; he didn’t want anyone to see him with Jesus) What was the one thing that Jesus said
Nicodemus needed to know? (God loves
everyone) What did God do because He
loves us all? (He sent Jesus).
Nicodemus
had lots of questions for Jesus. Many of
them were about God. What questions do
you have about God? (Let the children answer – don’t feel like you have to
answer the questions). Those are some
great questions! Who do you think can
help you find answers to those questions? (Parents, Pastor, Teachers, Bible,
etc.)
God loves us and wants us to go to Heaven one day. How do
we get to Heaven? We have to believe that Jesus died and came back to life. We
must know that Jesus died for the wrongs we have done. We must tell Jesus we
are sorry for our sins and ask Him to forgive us. Then, we must ask Jesus to
come into our heart and help us live for God in all we do. Jesus promises to
stay with us forever and take us to Heaven one day. If you want to know more
about Jesus, talk to us anytime about it.
Memory Verse
God loved the world so
much that he gave his only son, so that everyone who believes in him will live
forever– John 3:16
Big Idea
Jesus
says that what we do is more important that what we say. We need to follow God with our actions.
Prayer- Ask for Joys and Requests
Say a prayer thanking
God for his love, and for sending his son, Jesus, so that we can live forever
with Jesus. Ask God to help us tell
others this good news.
