水有很多用途，喝上一杯清凉的水，也会让人觉得很舒服。不过，施洗约翰却用水做了一件特别的事，为耶稣预备道路。

主题

洗礼、施洗约翰、悔改

材料

纸杯

一壶水

(可选) 白板、白板笔

时间

大约5分钟

说明

1.做

给每个孩子倒一杯水。在让他们喝之前，先一起讨论水的好处和各种用途。接着，把我们平常使用水的不同方式，与施洗约翰使用水的特殊方式作比较。他用水来象征悔改，并为耶稣预备道路。

2.说

我要给每个人倒一杯水。不过，先不要喝，等我告诉你们什么时候可以喝。(给每个孩子倒一杯水。)

我知道，你们面前这杯水看起来一定很清凉、很解渴。水对我们很好。我们在很多事情上都会用到水。你们能说说，我们平常都会怎样使用水吗？(让孩子们回答。也可以把他们的答案写在白板上。)

很好，我们想出了很多不同的用水方式。好了，现在你们可以喝水了。

喝一口清凉的水，会让人觉得很舒服。水可以洁净我们，让我们重新有精神，也给身体带来力量和活力。不过，施洗约翰却用水以另一种方式来使人得到更新。他在约旦河里给人施洗。他用水施洗来象征悔改，并为耶稣预备道路。

施洗约翰说：“我是用水给你们施洗，叫你们悔改；但那在我以后来的，能力比我更大，我就是给祂提鞋也不配。祂要用圣灵与火给你们施洗。”（马太福音 3:11）

Refreshing Water

We use water for many things, and it can be quite refreshing to drink. However, John the Baptist used water in a special way to prepare the way for Jesus.by Kristy Thornton

TOPICS:

Baptism, John the Baptist, Repentance

MATERIALS:

Paper cups Pitcher of water(Optional) Whiteboard, markers

DURATION:

Approximately 5 minutes

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

Pour a cup of water for each child. Before letting them drink it, discuss the benefits and uses for water. You will compare the different ways we use water to the special way John the Baptist used water to symbolize repentance and to prepare the way for Jesus.

WHAT YOU WILL SAY:

I am going to pour everyone a cup of water. However, don't drink it yet. I'll let you know when to do that. (Pour water into each cup.)

I know that water in front of you looks refreshing. Water is good for us. We use water for many things. What are some of the ways we use water? (Allow the children to respond. As an option, you can write their suggestions on the board.)

That's a good list of different ways we use water. Okay, now, go ahead now and drink your water.

A nice drink of cool water is refreshing. It cleanses us. It revives us. It gives our body strength and energy. However, John the Baptist used water in a different way to refresh people. He baptized them in the water of the Jordan River. He baptized people in water to symbolize repentance and to prepare the way for Jesus.

John the Baptist said, "I baptize you with water for repentance. But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire." Matthew 3:11 NIV
