Our Story

Activity

Read John 3:1-17 together. Nicodemus was a very important man in the temple of Jerusalem. He would have studied the Hebrew scriptures for years and he would be used to people asking him about God and how to live. However, Nicodemus knew there was something different in what Jesus was saying and even though he came at night so no one would see him, he still wanted to understand. Jesus told him understanding with his mind would not help, he had to understand with his heart. Nicodemus had to understand God’s love.

Love is easy to feel but the minute we start thinking about it, it becomes difficult to explain in words. Love is easier to explain in art. Draw pictures of what love looks like, especially pictures about what God’s love looks like.
