Is It A Miracle

Main Idea:  As Jesus did miracles people saw God.

Scripture Reference:  John 9:1-12

Categories:  Jesus

Supplies:  Clear pitcher of water, a clear jar with a dead bug in it

I have here a pitcher of water.  Who thinks I can change this into Root Beer?  Is it impossible?  (Let children answer.)  How would I do it?  (Let them speculate.)  I can’t.  There is nothing I can do to physically change this water into Root Beer.  It would be a miracle.  What is a miracle?  (Give them an opportunity to answer.)  A miracle is something that can’t be explained, that a person couldn’t do.

Would it be a miracle if I could make this dead bug come to life?  Yes.  Do you think I can do it?  (Let them answer.)  I can’t.  There is nothing I can do to physically make this bug come alive.  It would be a miracle.

Jesus did miracles when he lived on earth.  Do you know what miracles Jesus did?  (Let them answer.)  He turned water into wine.  He made Lazarus who was his friend and had been dead three days come back to life. 

How could Jesus do that?  Because He is God.  As Jesus did miracles people saw God.  Can God do the impossible?  Anything?  Does God have mysterious power?  Yes.

Our God is a God of miracles.  And the biggest miracle was making Jesus come alive after He died on the cross.  And God did that because He loves us.  We have a great God!  And He loves you.
