Lesson Development (30 minutes):

Step 1: Reading and Understanding

– In pairs, students read John 3:5-7 aloud.

– Encourage them to underline any phrases or words that stand out to them.

Step 2: Identifying Lessons

– Working in small groups, students brainstorm lessons that can be deduced from John 3:5-7.
