Main Thought
We read about miracles throughout the Bible. The Every Nation family believes that God wants to continue performing miracles today! The ultimate purpose of God’s miracles among us is to reveal the glory Jesus to us. We can see this in Jesus’s first miracle: when He turned water into wine. So what does this miracle reveal to us about God? First, Jesus desires to participate in all the events of your life. He wants to be present and involved. This miracle also teaches us that Jesus’s power is accessible for our troubles. He wants to help us through our pain. Finally, this miracle reveals that God’s miraculous provision is available for our needs. He loves us and wants to bless us. These things are possible when we seek God’s presence and ask Him in faith.
Main Passages
On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim. Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.” They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.” 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.
