John 2:5

Little Bible — for children and parents · Growth Figures · © Growth Figures. All rights reserved.

This is one of the most important instructions in the whole Bible. Mary's simple words — 'do whatever He says' — are the perfect summary of the life of faith.

Memory phrase: Do whatever He says

Talk about it: What is something Jesus has told us to do that we can obey today?

Prayer: Jesus, I want to be like those servants. Whatever You say, I will do it. Help me obey You today.
