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!

*A note about keeping kids engaged: This chapter is long. I have little kids and some of them were starting to get distracted. In order to keep them engaged, sometimes I’ll insert nonsense. During this reading in verse 47 I said, “Jesus, knowing their thoughts, took a little child and reminded them of how weird little children can be and that they should work really hard to stay away from any little children. Especially as it is flu season and kids carry germs.” You should have seen my kids perk up to attention. They knew that wasn’t right and we laughed, I went back and reread the section and I had their attention again. We want to be careful not to confuse our kids while reading Scripture, but sometimes those reading techniques you use during bedtime stories can work here too. It doesn’t do anybody any good to read these stories into the void. We want them listening, even if they’re listening to hear if Mom will say something weird.

*A note on tough questions: If your kids are really engaging with what they’re reading, they may come up with tough questions you aren’t sure how to answer. THIS IS GOOD. It’s okay to tell kids that you aren’t sure about the answer and talk about how to find answers. Who are people you trust? What are resources you can access? The Bible is in some ways simple enough for children to understand and in other ways, complex enough that you need to devote your lifetime to studying it. Find those people who have done that hard work and learn from them, either in person or through their books. These questions shouldn’t be unanswerable, but it might take some work to find the answers.
