Leader Devo

We invite you to pause, listen, and shift your gaze toward the Father …

As you prepare your heart to lead this lesson, read John 3:16–21. And as you read it, be reminded of God‘s love for you. Don’t read it just to read it, but read it knowing that it solidifies your salvation, the forgiveness of your sins, God’s love, and eternal life.

This week you’ll share the vital truth that God sent Jesus because He loves us. But before you start preparing, memorizing, and practicing, I want you to know that God sent Jesus because He loves you, too. While we’re teaching these messages, I think we can often forget that we are a part of God’s big story, too—and that we can receive the same wonder a kid does.

II can only imagine what Nicodemus felt as Jesus broke down His message of love and salvation. And I know that for centuries this message of God’s promise has changed lives. Remember it. Celebrate it. Cherish it. And let it change your life forever.
