Feb. 11-17, John 2-4 "Ye Must Be Born Again"

This is the personal and family study for the week. Mom has some assignments for a some of us. Would you please these three chapters this week and share what you learned in our family study on Sunday? This includes those of you older children who may be with us on the Sabbath! Is there a way to include you in the future even when you aren't here?

Here are a few questions we might want to explore:

• John tells of the Savior turning water into wine. When Jesus was in the wilderness, he was tempted to turn stones into bread, but he refused. Later, he multiplies 5 loaves of bread and two fishes to feed a multitude. Why is it appropriate for the savior to miraculously produce or change food sometimes, but not at others, and how are these situations different and how are they the same?
• How is "living water" a good analogy to use for teaching about the Savior and eternal life?
• The Savior uses many simple, everyday things for teaching gospel principles: birth, water, bread, farming, etc. Why?

Food for thought (which is a fine analogy as well) ...
