  • Read John 2 

Why was Jesus angry about the market being set up in the temple court?

  • As you enter church each Sunday, how can you contribute to that space being a sacred place to worship God? 
  • Where, in your world today, do you see something being denigrated? 
  • How can your righteous anger fuel you to positive actions?

  • Read Exodus 12: 1-28 

The Passover was a miracle that ended a series of miracles that brought the Israelites out of Egypt. God’s glory was revealed through these miracles, giving all who saw a chance to acknowledge and follow the one, true God.

The Lord instituted a yearly reminder to be passed through the generations.

Sit and picture yourself at this wedding. Perhaps remember the last fun wedding that you attended. 

We read in chapter 1 that Jesus came and lived among us. He sat, relaxed, went to weddings, and had his mom tell him what to do! 

  • How does it change the current picture of Jesus in your mind to picture Him dancing at a wedding with friends? 
  • What do you think Jesus means that ‘his hour had not yet come’? 
  • Mary approaches Jesus confidently with her request. How confident are you when you approach God in prayer with your request?
