Tonight's family reading · Canberra
Nicodemus Comes at Night — a 5-minute devotion for Canberra families
John 3:1-17 · Questions are welcome here
A respected teacher came in the dark with questions he could not ask in daylight. Jesus told him he had to be born again — and then said the sentence the whole Bible leans on: God so loved the world.
This works best in Canberra as a bedtime reading. Lights low, John 3:1-17 read slowly, the memory verse said twice, then the prayer. Younger children fall asleep on "questions are welcome here"; older ones usually want to argue about it first, which is fine.
Memory verse
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.”John 3:16
Table question
What question about God have you been too shy to ask out loud?
30-second prayer
Jesus, thank you that you take questions. Make our table safe for them. Amen.
Make it stick: on the way through Canberra tomorrow, one person says the first half of "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son." and someone else finishes it. Three tries and it is memorised.
Tomorrow: Jesus and the children (Mark 10:13-16). ArkQuest queues the next reading automatically, so nobody has to decide what comes after tonight.
On Mount Carmel, Elijah rebuilt an altar of twelve stones before calling on the Lord. What did the twelve stones represent?
