A miracle is a wonderful thing that only God can do. First, let's look at point number one: 'A miracle is a wonderful thing only God can do.' Imagine you have no water, and then water appears from nowhere – only God can do that! That is a miracle. Our second point: 'Jesus did his first miracle at a wedding in Cana.' Cana was a small village, like our mtaa here in Kenya. At a wedding, the wine finished, and Jesus turned water into wine. That was His very first miracle! Finally, point three: 'We will learn the story and what it teaches us.' Today we will listen to the story from the Bible and find out what Jesus wants us to learn about helping others.
It was like a big Kenyan wedding in the village, with lots of singing and chai! Jesus, his mother Mary, and his friends were all invited. Oh no! They ran out of wine. In Kenya, if you ran out of chai at a party, that would be a big problem too! Mary saw the problem and asked Jesus to help. Jesus told the servants to fill big jars with water. Then something amazing happened — the water turned into the best wine! Jesus showed that He cares about our needs, even at a party. Remember, Jesus can do wonderful things for us too!
The important lessons we can learn from the miracle. First, obedience. The servants did exactly what Jesus told them. They filled the jars with water. A miracle happened! When we obey Jesus, good things can happen too. Second, faith. We can trust Jesus even when we don't understand. The servants didn't know why Jesus wanted water, but they trusted him. It's like when your teacher gives you homework and you don't see the point, but you do it anyway because you trust it will help you learn. Third, helping others. Jesus helped the wedding family when they ran out of wine. He cared about their problem. We can help others too! Just like Jesus, we can look for ways to help our friends and family. Maybe carry water for your grandmother or share your chai with a friend. Remember: Obey Jesus, trust him, and help others. These are great lessons from the miracle.
Great job, everyone! We've learned how Jesus turned water into wine and how the servants obeyed quickly. This page says 'Connecting to Our Lives.' That means we take the Bible story and practice it at home, in school, and in our mtaa — our neighbourhood. At these key points. Number one: when your parent asks you to do something — like fetch water or sweep the floor — obey with a smile! Just like the servants at the wedding did exactly what Jesus said. Remember, Jesus is always with you. When you have a problem — maybe you lost your book or you feel lonely — you can pray to Jesus. He loves to help you, just like He helped the wedding guests. Let's think about a time you obeyed cheerfully. Maybe you helped carry shopping or shared your chai with a little brother. Share that with a friend next to you.
Done, everyone! We've come to the end of our lesson. Let's take a few minutes to remember what we learned. First, we learned that Jesus did his first miracle at a wedding in Cana. He turned water into wine. That showed his great power and his love for people. Then we learned that we should obey and trust Jesus, just like the people at the wedding obeyed him. You can read it from the slide or say it in your heart: 'Dear Jesus, help me to obey and trust You. Remember, Jesus loves you and wants you to trust him every day. See you next time!
