My family has a yearly tradition of reading a chapter a day of the book of Luke, leading up to Christmas. It has been such an enriching experience that helps center our holiday season on what is most important to us. If you’d like to join us in these readings, I’m providing questions to talk through with your kids to help spark conversations and meaningful engagement with what you read. I hope it’s helpful!

According to our last chapter, when is the world going to end? Can we predict it?
I ask my kids to listen for this information while we’re reading and I’ll ask about it after we’re done:
Where did Jesus eat the Passover meal?
Who did Jesus predict would deny him?
What did the disciples do while Jesus was praying?
(Asking them to look for the information before you start reading is super helpful in keeping little learners engaged. They tend to listen pretty hard when they’re listening for something specific. I might even write the questions out so they can hold them and look for the information while we read. I will assign these questions to my youngest kids and target the longer discussion questions to my older kids. If my younger kids need to go to bed while we’re deep in discussion, they still had a chance to participate.)
Questions after you’ve read Luke 22:
What is the Passover meal?
How did Jesus reinterpret the Passover meal? Do you recognize this language from a “meal” you eat with your church family?
Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven? How should that impact how we treat people now?
Was Jesus unprepared for what was coming?
Jesus knew Peter would deny him. Did that change how he treated Peter? Did it impact his love for Peter? Is there anything you can do that will change Jesus’s love for you?
Does Jesus want to go to the cross? Is he willing? Is he honest in his prayer? How is this an example for us when we need to do things that are hard?
How does Jesus handle himself when he’s being accused and mistreated?
Was there anything else that stuck out to you or surprised you?

Why was Jesus talking about giving things to Ceasar in the last chapter?
Who will be married in heaven?
I ask my kids to listen for this information while we’re reading and I’ll ask about it after we’re done:
What did the widow give?
What are the things that have to happen before Jesus will come back?

Questions after you’ve read Luke 21:
Have you ever felt compelled to give out of your poverty?
Should we be worrying about the end of the world? Trying to predict it?
Why do you think Jesus would tell his followers how bad things are going to get?
