SCRIPTURE: John 2:1-12
“What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.” (John 2:11)
If someone said they had superpowers, would you believe them?
You would want proof, maybe a demonstration of said superpower?
For centuries people were hoping a messiah would come, who would make this messed up world better.
He would get rid of misery, poverty, immorality, selfishness, sickness, disabilities, oppression, injustice.
He would turn this world into a paradise of blessing, with ‘the best of meats and the finest of wines.’ (Isaiah 25:6)
Jesus shows up, and He starts doing remarkable things, things that the promised Messiah would do.
People start wondering, could this be the One?
This is the first sign through which Jesus proves His identity, His glory.
Many more signs followed, so many John states that “if every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.” (John 21:25)
But he wanted people to know, to believe, so he wrote this sampler, including this miracle of water to wine.
“These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” (John 20:31)
The disciples believed him… do you?
What are the signs in Your life that Jesus is Who He says He is?
What do you sense the Lord saying to you?
PRAYER
Lord, in addition to the signs recorded here, there are signs in my own life that You are Who You say You are. Thank You for helping, healing, forgiving, changing, and using me in ways that show Your glory!
