More about these Bible coloring pages

‘For God so loved the world’ (John 3:16) is such an important message, and my kids were eager to color this scene from the Jesus and Nicodemus story. Last Wednesday during our craft time, my 7-year-old excitedly picked out his favorite crayons to color in Jesus' kind expression. These coloring pages are such a great way to help them remember that everyone can come to Jesus, no matter what. We had a fun discussion about how Nicodemus was curious but nervous to ask Jesus questions. I love how this printable includes images that show their meeting at night and Jesus explaining how to be born again. It made for a great conversation starter about how we can connect with God. The kids really enjoyed discussing how important it is to seek the truth and ask questions, just like Nicodemus did. I’m planning to use these pages again for our next church class, as they fit perfectly into our lesson plan.
