Scripture:
John 2:1-11
Script:
Pastor: Good morning boys and girls! Welcome! Let’s say good morning to our friend Sammy. Ready? One, two, three: Good morning, Sammy!
Sammy: Good morning, boys and girls! Good morning, Pastor! Hey Pastor?
Pastor: Yes, Sammy?
Sammy: I was listening to you read the Gospel message this morning, and I would like to share some of my thoughts about what you read.
Pastor: Sure, Sammy. I think we have a couple of minutes for you to share your thoughts.
Sammy: That’s great! First of all, all of our mamas know us really well.
Pastor: Of course. Our mamas are there on the day we are born, and they feel us before we are born, too. They raise us from when we are tiny babies.
Sammy: Jesus’s mama knows him really well. She knows that he is capable of miracles.
Pastor: Jesus’s mother, Mary, was told by the angel Gabriel that she would carry and give birth to the Son of God.
Sammy: I have another observation based on the gospel today: Mamas need their wine.
Pastor: …
Sammy: Mary encouraged the servants to do whatever Jesus told them to do. The wedding guests were out of wine. And I know all mamas need a glass of wine from time to time. And lots of mamas go to weddings.
Pastor: Yes, Sammy. The servants listened to Jesus as he told them to fill very large purification jars with water. He then told them to take some out of the jar and give the wine to the chief steward.
Sammy: That’s right. That brings us to my third point: Jesus always gives us the very best. When we follow him, we receive the best gifts from him. And we have to think about the little things he gives us, too. More wine at a wedding isn’t really important to me—I’m just a little lamb—but it’s really important to the bride and the groom and all the mamas who like wine.
Pastor: Sammy, I am grateful you shared your thoughts about the gospel today. The wedding at Cana is Jesus’s first public miracle, and this miracle is certainly a very special one. Our God always provides for us and gives us good gifts. Let’s give thanks to him. Boys and girls, would you please bow your heads and fold your hands in prayer? Dear Jesus, thank you for the gifts you give us. Help us to see the little gifts as miracles, too. We love you. Amen.
Sammy: Bye, Pastor! Bye, boys and girls!
Pastor: Bye, Sammy!
