Another great story from Bethan (11) Water + Jesus = Wine! Bethan has written the story from the view of a helper at the wedding on the day Jesus performed his first miracle. Based on John 2:1-12 It was the day of the wedding. No, we weren't invited, Mum was working there and I had to help out pouring the wine. Yuk! If I were rich, I would go to loads of weddings, but no-one wanted us around. The wedding was a big one. I had to squeeze past every one AND hold a big jar of wine! It was terrible. Then, the jar started to slip out of my hand. Everything seemed to go out of control! But then, a man came up, he caught the jar just in time. He gave me a wonderful smile, and he had a shine in his brown eyes. Something was different with that man than with any other that I had seen. He seemed so perfect! "Thank you..." I said, not quite knowing what to say. If he knew who I was, he wouldn't want to be friends with me. But then he said something that totally shocked me. "You're welcome, Sarah." How did he know my name? I wish I could have asked, but mam shouted from across the room that I should be filling cups. I saw a lady whisper into a man's ear something like: "It is time, Jesus..." Then I realised this 'Jesus man' was the man I saw earlier. Time for what though? What could he do? Mary (the lady) turned to me and said "Do what he tells you, ok?" I nodded, and Jesus told me to get 6 jars of water. And, guess what? He turned them into wine! For the next few weeks, no one could stop talking about it! I later found out that Jesus was God, and became a Christian. Now, i'm God's best friend. THE END |
Another great story from Bethan (11) Ruth and Naomi Based on the book of Ruth Ruth finished washing up and sat down. Naomi came into the room and sat down next to Ruth. "Oh Naomi, tell me the story again, you know, the one about the..." Naomi smiled. She always knew what story Ruth wanted to listen to. "Me and my husband, your husband and Orpha's husband, lived in Bethlehem. There was terrible famine there so we came here. You and Orpha got married to my sons, but then..." This part of the story tears always came into Naomi's eyes. "My husband died, The End." Ruth felt sorry for Naomi. "Naomi, tell me about your land and your God, please?" Ruth loved listening to Naomi talk about her God. The God who made everyone and everything. But one day Naomi was sad when her sons died too. "Ruth and Orpha, I'm going back to Bethlehem and you shall come with me." Ruth and Orpha came with Naomi for a little while, but then Naomi turned round. "You to go home! You two don't want to come with me, you go home!" Orpha went home, but Ruth refused to go and went to Bethlehem with Naomi. They were poor there, so Ruth went everyday to the wheat fields and gathered leftovers, like the poor people did. Boaz, the owner of the wheat field and a relative of Ruth, loved Ruth and so went to another relative. "Please sir, if you would like to marry Ruth then you shall, but if not I shall marry her!" The relative let Boaz marry Ruth, they had two kids and their kids, kids, kids and so on became the family of Jesus. And everyone lived happily ever after!!! |
Another great story from Bethan (11) Daniel and the Lions Den Based on Daniel 6 A long time ago, in a land far far away. There lived a boy called David. When he was still a boy, he and his friends were taken to an even further away land called Babylon. Daniel didn't want to be there, but never stopped believing in God. The king decided to make Daniel and his friends his wise men because they were very wise and handsome. The other wise men were jealous because the king liked Daniel more than any of them. So, they decided to do something about it. One day, they went up to the king and said. "Your the best, King Darius!" They said to the king. The king was very pleased. "But some people don't know that..." The king was horrified! "What?!? People don't know that I am the best? Then we must do something about it!" So, the wise men tricked Darius into signing a piece of paper saying that anyone who doesn't come to Darius for help, will be thrown into the lions den! When Daniel saw this new law he was sad. He wanted to ask God for help, not Darius! but he didn't want to go into the lions den. Hmm, that IS a hard decision! After a bit of thinking he decided he would ask God for things, not Darius! One day when he was praying, the wise men saw him and turned him in. King Darius had no choice, but to throw Daniel into the lions den. He didn't want to because Daniel was his best wise man! But the law could not be changed. All night while Daniel was in the den, King Darius was worried! In the morning, the king rushed of to the den and saw that Daniel was unharmed! "God sent an angel to shut the lions mouths. I am safe!" The king was so pleased he immediately changed the law so that everyone should ask God for anything! And, he put the bad wise men in to the lions den! This story helps us to know that we should always do things God's way, even though it might get us into trouble. THE END |

This is the first story sent in by a"Great Bible Story" visitor Congratulations to Bethan aged 10 for this story Bethan is from UK but is currently living in Latvia with her family! Bethan has chosen an unusually story from the Bible that she thought you may not have heard before. A BIG decision! King Solomon was the son of King David. King solomon was very wise and ruled over the people very wisely. People asked King Solomon to help them when they needed help and Solomon always had a wise answer. One day two women came up to Solomon. The first woman said: "We both live in the same house and at the same time we had a baby each. Last night she rolled over her baby and it died. So she swapped her baby with mine and pretended it was hers. In the morning I woke up and found a dead baby beside me, but when I looked at it carefully I saw it was her baby, but she says it's mine!" Then the second woman said: "No your wrong! Your baby died and mine is still alive!" Solomon thought about this and then said to cut the baby in half so they could have half each! The false mother said: "OK! Then it would be fair!" But the real mother said: "Please don't kill my baby! Give it to her, but please don't kill my baby!" Now Solomon knew who the real mother was and the real mother got her baby back! Taken from a story in the Bible in I King 3:16-28 |
