SIGNS: #1 Water to Wine - John 2:1-11
“It should come as no surprise of the God who supernaturally created the universe should choose at times to supernaturally intervene in it.” John MacArthur
John 20:30,31 “Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.”
The first of the Signs of the Messiah – power over the sin cursed world! Jesus was the Creator – the maker of all that is – so He could make or alter any physical element. Taking time from the beginnings of His ministry he attends a wedding with his mother at nearby Cana. This celebration gives witness to family, faith, humanity, and the divine – so much in a simple wedding reception!
Sunday I will take us through the Jewish celebration – the role of guests – the use of wine – the use of Jesus of common things to make uncommon lessons – all in a few verses. This will be the first of Seven Signs (we will take time out for Easter) as we enter into the demonstrations of the I AM – Jesus the Messiah. Just like the wedding ceremony I am asking you to invite someone to join you.
See you Sunday –

BTW – there is a connection between this miracle and original creation in Eden – I hope you find it as interesting as I did – come and see!
