Today, we look at a Day 2 text from this year’s summer curriculum, “Boundless: God Beyond Measure.”
Reading “Very truly, I tell you, we speak of what we know and testify to what we have seen; yet you do not receive our testimony. If I have told you about earthly things and you do not believe, how can you believe if I tell you about heavenly things? No one has ascended into heaven except the one who descended from heaven, the Son of Man. And just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in him may have eternal life. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him may not perish but may have eternal life. “Indeed, God did not send the Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (John 3: 11-17) Reflection From this year’s Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Curriculum: John 3:11-17 uses big language to share how God’s boundless love makes us feel complete. God’s love isn’t just made up of words. God’s love became human in Jesus. And we are God’s children, loved through Jesus’s words and deeds. Bowl: Gather around your bowl. Put something you like to eat in it. Talk about your favorite foods. Activity: Together eat what you have put in the bowl. Connect: Discuss how hard it is to measure just how much you like what you are eating since you like it so much. God’s love isn’t just made up of words but comes to us in Jesus. Discuss the difference between just telling someone about what you like versus sharing the food with them. Around the World: It’s helpful to pray for those who hunger; there’s also something to feeding them. Connect with a local food pantry or another effort like ELCA World Hunger (https://www.elca.org/hunger). Prayer Dear Jesus, in you God’s love becomes real and near to us. Help us to know your boundless love and help us to share the good news with others. In your name we pray. Amen.
