More about these Bible coloring pages

One of my favorite moments teaching about Nicodemus was when my class discussed why he visited Jesus at night. The children's curiosity was sparked by the question, 'Why did he wait until dark?' This nicodemus coloring page Sunday school captures that essence beautifully. The six images include Nicodemus approaching Jesus, the two engaged in conversation, and key symbols like a lantern representing his search for understanding. As we colored, I reminded my students of John's words, 'He came to Jesus at night and said, 'Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher.' (John 3:2). It’s a wonderful way to reinforce the lesson of being bold in faith, even when it feels difficult. I keep a printed copy in my Sunday school binder for easy access during our discussions.
