KEY PASSAGE MOTIONS

Say the key passage using motions. Repeat several times and encourage children for trying.

“For God (point up) so loved (cross arms over chest) the world that he gave (hold hands out in front) his one and only Son (hold up one finger), that whoever believes in him (display arms outward) shall not perish (shake head) but have eternal life (clasp hands together).” John 3:16

REVIEW

Ask the following questions. Retell parts of the Bible story as needed.

Who came to visit Jesus? (Nicodemus)

What did Jesus mean when He said a person must be born again to see God’s Kingdom?  (They need to receive a new better life from God.)

Can we earn life forever with God by being good? (No, life with God forever is a gift!)

What is God’s great plan? (Everyone who believes in God’s one and only Son, Jesus, will have life forever with Him.)

SAY • Nicodemus was a man who tried to obey God’s law and taught it to others. He thought people could earn their way to heaven by being good and keeping all of God’s rules. Jesus taught Nicodemus that he could not do anything to earn life with God. Life with God forever is a gift. God showed His love by sending His one and only Son to save people from sin. Jesus is God’s one and only Son! Everyone who believes in Jesus receives God’s gift of life forever with Him.

PRAY

Invite your child to share any prayer requests they have.

SAY • God, thank you for sending your one and only Son, Jesus, to die on the cross for our sins.  We trust that we cannot earn our way to heaven, but that life forever with you only comes from Jesus.  Help us all trust in your great plan.  Amen.
