Write the SuperVerse on the board—John 3:3:
Night Questions: Color a page about Nicodemus’s meeting with Jesus.
Give a coloring page to each child, along with crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers to share. Lead a discussion using the questions below as the children color their pages.
1. What is happening in this scene from the video? Jesus is speaking with Nicodemus while Chris listens.
2. Do you think it was unusual for Nicodemus to come at night? Why or why not? Children answer.
3. Have you ever talked with Jesus at night? How can it be easier to talk or pray in the evening around bedtime? There are fewer distractions; it can be quieter; you can be alone and share your thoughts.
4. Have you ever talked with Jesus about something you didn’t understand in the Bible? If it isn’t too personal, can you share it? Children respond.
5. Jesus did not turn Nicodemus away, and He won’t turn us away, either. He will always be there for us. How does it feel to know that we can come to Jesus anytime, about anything? Children respond.
Jesus is waiting to hear about our successes and even our failures or mistakes. He wants to share our joy, our sadness, our hopes, and our disappointments. Whenever we call to Him, He is ready and willing to spend time with us.
