What would it be like if we viewed the entirety of the Bible from God\u2019s perspective? What if we showed our children that the Bible is actually one big story about God and His purposes for the peoples of the earth? Wow! What might be the impact of consistently using a \u201cGod-sized\u201d lens when sharing God\u2019s Word with our family? It could broaden our children\u2019s understanding of who God is and how He acts in our world. <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It could change how our children view themselves, their blessings, and their purpose.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sharing the Bible with our children through a \u201cGod- sized\u201d lens does not have to be difficult. It just requires that we consistently frame every story with these truths:<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is the main character of every story.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God is always at work to make Himself known.<\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<li><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">God blesses his people for a greater purpose that includes others. <\/span><\/i><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Bible Time Tip:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Set aside a designated area in your home to begin your story-time. Choose a quiet place with enough room for your family to gather comfortably. As you build a habit of exploring God\u2019s Word together, your children will begin to associate this specific place with the learning that has happened there. <\/span><\/p>\n<h1><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Family Bible Activity:<\/span><\/h1>\n<p><b>Bible Story:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While traveling through Samaria with His disciples, Jesus encountered a Samaritan woman fetching water at the village well. Despised because of her race, this woman had little value in most people\u2019s eyes. Yet, Jesus sought her out. This account demonstrates God\u2019s intense love for individuals and how He used that love to bring an entire people to Himself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab your Bible and gather your family in your designated place. Together with your family, read John 4:4-35, 39-42. Then do the following related activity.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Family Activity:<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will need: water in a sink, tub, bucket, or pond; rock<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Together with your family, look at a body of water you chose and describe the surface. The still water is like the Samaritan village before Jesus visited. Talk about what happened when Jesus first entered the village. Explain that Jesus chose to share His message of salvation with one person and discuss who that individual was. Take turns dropping the rock into the water. Observe and count the rings of ripples created by only one rock. Share with your children how Jesus\u2019 message affected the Samaritan woman in a powerful way. However, the impact of Jesus\u2019 message did not stop with her, but rippled out to others. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a \u201cGod-sized\u201d lens. Ask your children to identify God\u2019s greater purpose for blessing the Samaritan woman. Talk about others who heard about Jesus through the woman\u2019s testimony and how they responded. Then, pray for people in our world today who have never had the opportunity to hear that Jesus is the Savior of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(This Bible story activity is framed with a \u201cGod-sized\u201d lens.
