Nicodemus Follow-up

Children 2-years-old thru 1st grade are learning the story of Nicodemus found in John 3. You can help your child further understand and apply the truths of this story as you go throughout your day. Here are some ideas:
  • The key phrase for this unit is, "Jesus Makes Me New!" Talk about the things you see that go through changes, such as flowers, animals, food, etc. Relate the way these things change to the way Jesus changes our hearts when we love and trust Him.
  • Nicodemus came to Jesus at night. Talk about the difference between light and darkness. Why did Nicodemus come at night? Talk about how Jesus is the light in a world darkened by sin.
  • Act out the conversation between Nicodemus and Jesus, stopping every verse or 2 to explain in your own words what Jesus means.
