Lesson 1: Jesus Changes Water into Wine
Text: John 2:1–11
Date Used: ______________________

Key Point: In His first miracle at Cana in Galilee, Jesus showed that He is God. Through God’s Word and physical means—water, bread, and wine—God shows us that Jesus is our Savior.

Law/Gospel: Like the disciples, I am unsure of who Jesus is. Through His Word and Sacraments, Jesus shows He is my Savior and God.

Lesson 2: Jesus Clears the Temple
Text: John 2:13–22
Date Used: ______________________

Key Point: Jesus’ cleansing of the temple carries a twofold message: He is the Lord of the temple in the flesh, and even more important, He is the true temple, through whom our sins are paid for and we are made heirs of eternal life.

Law/Gospel: I sin when I do not honor God’s house or when I disturb the worship of others. Jesus is my holy temple who, by His sacrifice on the altar of the cross, cleansed me from sin and made me a member of His Body, the Church.

Lesson 3: Jesus Teaches Nicodemus
Text: John 3:1–21
Date Used: ______________________

Key Point: Since the fall into sin, we are born spiritually blind, sinful, and unclean. As children of God, we are reborn—born again—of water and the Spirit, so that we can see our sinfulness and the salvation that is ours in Jesus Christ.
Law/Gospel: As a child of Adam, I am by nature sinful and unclean. As a child of God, I am by grace righteous and pure in God’s sight. I have been born of water and the Spirit in Holy Baptism, through which God the Holy Spirit created and sustains faith in my heart to believe and trust in Jesus and gives me the gift of eternal life.
