Wine Into Water, John 2
A Wedding Party
One day, Jesus and his helper friends (disciples), went to a wedding party. It was a happy time for everyone. There was food to eat and wine to drink. But Jesus' mother came over to him. "Something terrible has happened," she said. "They ran out of wine!" Then she looked at the servants. "Do whatever Jesus tells you," she said. There were six very big stone jars nearby. Jesus told the servants, "Fill those jars to the top. Now dip some out," said Jesus. "Give it to the people." The servants dipped out the water. But it was not water anymore! It was wine! The people drank it. Some of them said it was the best wine at the party. They did not know it had been plain water. But the servants knew. God had given Jesus special power, because Jesus was God's Son.
Key Points:
What the children will learn (keeping it VERY basic):
Jesus fixed the problem at the wedding. He helps us solve our problems. He cares.
He performed a miracle.
He performed a miracle.
Children will learn about Jesus’ power through exploration of this story; Jesus turning water to wine.
Jesus turning water to wine at the wedding in Cana, tells of the first of Jesus’ miracles (not magic), and is significant because it shows how Jesus revealed his power to the people. Jesus is truly all we need.
Song:
Running Over
Running over, running over
My cup is full and running over
Since the Lord made me
I’m as happy as can be
My cup is full and running over
verse 2 since the Lord saved me
verse 3 since the Lord loves me
