John 19:31-37 (April 3rd)

Read John 19:31-37.
What is the most beautiful gift anyone has prepared for you?
It was the day of preparation for the Passover. Jesus’ bones are not broken because he is being prepared by God as our Passover sacrifice. The blood and water flow out as a fountain of life for us. John writes this for us, because, as Zechariah promised, when we look to the one we have pierced, the Spirit of grace is poured out on us (Zechariah 12:10).

Family Bible Time

Do: a Passover sacrifice (get a loved cuddly toy and explain that at the Passover they had to kill a lamb and eat it because the lamb died instead of them).

Read: Exodus 12:46
Think: what were the rules about eating the Passover lamb?

Read: John 19:33
Think: why is Jesus our Passover sacrifice?

Pray: thank Jesus that he died as our Passover sacrifice.

Planning your Visit

Welcome to St John's Church!

We are so delighted that you have found our website. We are a Church family in Wimborne for anyone living, working or studying around this area. Whoever you are, whatever your age, whether you’re an experienced Christian or not, we would love you to join us.

From an intrigued onlooker to the committed follower we are keen that everyone should grow in relationship with God through knowing Jesus. To help us do that our emphasis is on hearing God speak to us by his Holy Spirit through his word, the Bible. Each of us knows that we only grow in a relationship with someone and get to know them when we spend time listening to them and responding and reacting to what they say. So the focus of St John’s is on listening to God’s word, talking to him in prayer and taking up all that he says.

The Church family here at St John’s longs to help anyone who wants to investigate the life of Jesus. On this site you will find people, meetings, talks and events shaped to help you take another step forward in finding out more about God and his love for us in Jesus, and to help you get linked into the church family life.

We hope to have the opportunity to meet you personally in the very near future and that you will quickly feel at home at St John’s.
