Here's an idea from member Staci Woodruff
Watch any movie where the main character gets some sign of approval from the "master" -- Narnia, Karate Kid, even How to train your Dragon might have a scene like that.
Draw the comparison to how things went before and after the approval.
- What did it mean to the various people (John, Jesus, bystanders) for God to do that?
- Right after this, Jesus is led into the desert to be tempted. Do you think this made a difference to him? (Of course Jesus was perfect, and knew God was with him, but it leads into the next question.)
- Can we know we have God's approval? How?
- How would this help/change/impact you/me in our daily lives if God audibly said this to us?
I don't know if you want to go into it or not, but some people do not feel that anyone could see the dove or hear the voice. Does that make a difference? For whom?
