Sunday, I taught my class of 4th - 6th graders about the wedding at Cana.
Our church is one of those that does not advocate drinking alcohol.

One of the kids wanted to know if it was real wine, or if it was grape juice. I said that my Bible said it was wine, so I felt that it was wine.

Another kid said he has been taught that our body is God's temple & we need to keep it free of alcohol and tobacco. So why was Jesus turning water into wine for people? Still another wanted to know if Jesus had ever been drunk.

I told the kids that in that part of the world at that time, wine was what was commonly drunk at meals. I also said my Bible does not tell me that Jesus was ever drunk, so I think not.

Sharp kids in my class. Do you think their parents will be angry over my answers?
