We are continuing in our Red Letter series and today we will be looking at the first miracle that Jesus performed, turning water into wine. Jesus invites us to come into His world and see His goodness. John 2:1-4 He has begun His ministry. After this, people are going to see Jesus’ works and glorify God. From this moment on, Jesus was answering to His heavenly Father, rather than others including His mom. What do you do when God’s timing does not match yours? How many of us are coming to Jesus and pressing Him to do something when He is fully aware and waiting for the perfect timing so that His Father may be glorified? His timing removes the shadow of doubt. We need to continue to have faith that the need will be met. That is exactly what Mary did. John 2:5 She maintained her faith and told others that Jesus was going to come through. For believers, it would be an encouragement to hold on to our faith. For those that don’t believe, it is the same as telling them, “Come and See.” Jesus wants to show you something, watch! You do not want to miss this! But God’s timing did not match up with her timing. John 2:6-8 The crisis has now come and now Jesus the miracle worker is on the scene. Matthew Henry says that this situation like many unfortunate ones that come into our lives, “teaches us that man’s extremity is God’s opportunity.” Our moments of extreme need are the opportunities for God to step in and do something amazing! Here the servants know the best is gone and all they have retrieved is water. John 2:9-10 First, Jesus showed His creation power! He didn’t speak over this transformation. He simply willed the water into wine and it was. And not just any wine but the best! We get to see what can happen when God’s timing does not match our timing. Second, we see a foreshadowing of the Gospel message. 2 Corinthians 5:17 The water took on the properties of wine. When we believe on the name of Jesus Christ as the Son of God, we become a new creation! We are born again! The problem is that many of us don’t recognize that we are made new in God’s sight. We continue to see ourselves as water. Instead of embracing that we have become the best wine. John 2:11 I want to encourage you… Jesus extends a simple invite you today to come to Him and see what He can do in your life. We just saw that God’s timing is perfect. If you feel His tugging on your heart, now is the time to respond to Him.
