Quest for Identity: Nicodemus Week 5

This year during FamilyQuest we are on a quest for our identity. We will accomplish this by studying various characters in the Bible, discovering the characteristic(s) that identified them, and then using those as a model for a personal understanding of our own identity which we have when we are born again and are in Christ Jesus.


(Note to Parents: We need you to clearly convey that this identity is ONLY for those who have experienced salvation through Christ Jesus and are new creatures. Although it is AVAILABLE to everyone, it is not an identity that AUTOMATICALLY BELONGS to everyone.)

During this unit, we are learning that Nicodemus was "Born Again."  We, too, will be Born Again and given New Life when we choose to follow Jesus Christ as our Savior!

When Jesus talked to Nicodemus He was explaining salvation.  If you haven't had the opportunity to talk about salvation with your children, here are five lessons that might help!

A caterpillar changing to a butterfly is a great metaphor for being "Born Again" into our "New Life" in Christ.  As Easter is nearing, consider using one of the following activities to illustrate how we can experience this "New Life" as a result of Christ's death and resurrection.
