Tonight's family reading · Gondar
Nicodemus Comes at Night — a 5-minute devotion for Gondar 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.
Parents in Gondar often ask what to do when siblings are years apart in age. Read John 3:1-17 together, then split the question: ask the younger child what happened in the story, and ask the older one why "questions are welcome here" is harder than it sounds.
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: draw it. Younger children draw the moment in John 3:1-17 they remember; older ones write one sentence about why it bothered them. Stick both on the wall.
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?
