JESUS PERFORMS HIS FIRST MIRACLE
JESUS HAD A BALANCED VIEW OF PLEASURES
(
AND
)...HAPPY TIMES WITH FRIENDS
HE ENJOYED LIFE
JOHN 2:1,2
A POTENTIALLY EMBARRASSING SITUATION DEVELOPED AT A MARRIAGE FEAST
THE NUMBER OF GUESTS MAY HAVE BEEN GREATER THAN EXPECTED
BUT WHATEVER THE CASE, THE WINE RAN OUT.
JOHN 2:3
JESUS CARED ABOUT PEOPLE'S FELINGS
WHEN THE WINE RAN OUT AT A WEDDING, MARY SAID TO JESUS, “THEY HAVE NO WINE.”
JESUS LOVINGLY COUCHED HIS GENTLE REPROOF IN THIS FORM,
INDICATING TO HIS MOTHER THAT HIS DIRECTION CAME NOT FROM HER
LITERALLY, THE QUESTION IS: “WHAT IS THERE IN COMMON BETWEEN ME AND YOU?”
BUT FROM THE SUPREME AUTHORITY WHO HAD SENT HIM.
JESUS RESPONDED: “WHAT HAVE I TO DO WITH YOU, WOMAN?
AFTER HIS BAPTISM, JESUS DID NOT SHOW SPECIAL FAVORITISM TOWARD MARY;
THE WORD USED IN THIS WAY DENOTES MADAM, MRS.,
MARY’S SENSITIVE AND HUMBLE NATURE WAS QUICK TO CATCH THE POINT AND ACCEPT THE CORRECTION.
STEPPING BACK AND LETTING JESUS TAKE THE LEAD, SHE REMARKED TO THE ATTENDANTS: “WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU, DO.”
HE ADDRESSED HER, NOT AS “MOTHER,” BUT SIMPLY AS “WOMAN.”
JOHN 2:4,5
JOHN 2:6-10
JESUS KNEW THAT HOSPITALITY WAS A DUTY.
IN THE ANCIENT MIDDLE EAST, HOSPITALITY TO INVITED GUESTS WAS OF PROFOUND IMPORTANCE.
SO HE MIRACULOUSLY TURNED SOME 380 L OF WATER INTO “FINE WINE.”
JESUS MIRACULOUSLY PROVIDED A LARGE AMOUNT OF FINE WINE, ENOUGH FOR A SIZABLE GROUP.

DO YOU SEE WHAT THIS MIRACLE TEACHES US?
NOW IMAGINE HOW JEHOVAH WILL USE HIS POWER GENEROUSLY IN THE NEW WORLD TO PROVIDE A RICH BANQUET “FOR ALL THE PEOPLES” EARTH WIDE.
THAT JESUS WOULD WILLINGLY PERFORM SUCH A MARVELOUS DEED ASSURES US THAT PEOPLE’S FEELINGS ARE IMPORTANT TO HIM AND TO HIS FATHER.
JESUS WAS GENEROUS
PLEASE; LOOK AT THE IMAGES ON THE SCREEN DESCRIBING THESE EVENTS.
JESUS' ACTIONS STRENGTHENED THE FAITH OF HIS DISCIPLES
JESUS IS CAPABLE OF CHECKING THE ELEMENTS OF NATURE.
JESUS USES HIS POWER TO DO GOOD TO THE OTHERS, CONSIDERING THE FEELINGS OF PEOPLE.
JOHN 2:11
