Elementary Discussion Questions
What is one way that you can follow Jesus today?
Discuss how the disciples’ response to following Jesus was to come near to Him and see who He was. Explain that following Jesus meant the disciples put Jesus first by leaving behind their old lives. Lead kids to think about how they can come near and see Jesus. Help kids understand they can do this by reading their Bibles, praying, going to church, and believing in what Jesus has done for them. Remind kids that we follow Jesus when we put Him first in our lives.
Jesus knew all about Nathanael and even saw him under a fig tree. How does it make you feel to know Jesus knows all about you and still invites you to follow Him?
Prompt kids to think about how we are all sinners but Jesus doesn’t turn us away. Remind kids that Jesus invites us to come to Him because He came to save sinners. Encourage kids by reminding them of God’s love for them through Jesus.
Can we follow Jesus and follow the ways of the world? Why not?
Help kids understand that only Jesus is to have first place in our lives. Remind kids that there is only one King—Jesus. Explain that only Jesus can save us and only He leads us to what is right and good. Tell kids that this world will try and tempt us to not trust Jesus but that we can ask God to help us believe Him and live by faith.
