Session 4- RE - Learning Question: What is a miracle?

Who has ever been to a wedding? A wedding is where two people promise to love each other in front of their family and friends. They sometimes exchange rings too. There is usually a meal and a party to celebrate the wedding. Watch the video of Mrs Holmes sharing photos of her wedding. Can you remember the special book that Christians learn about Jesus in The Bible. Today’s story is from the New Testament and is when Jesus performed a miracle. It is called The Wedding at Cana.

How do you think they felt when they had run out of wine? What did you think would happen when Jesus asked for the jugs to be filled with water? Why was everybody so shocked? So, Jesus’ friends couldn’t understand how the water became wine. This was the first time Jesus’ friends had seen a miracle.  This marked the beginning of Jesus’ teaching. Christians believe Jesus was able to do amazing things because he is God. Many Christians believe miracles can still happen.

Activity:

Draw a picture of the miracle when Jesus turns the jugs of water to wine. Christian believe that this miracle shows how special Jesus is.
