Jesus’ First Miracle
The main point of Jesus’ first miracle was not that He was interested in the success of a wedding occasion nor that He was able to bring joy to family life. Rather He had the power to satisfy the deepest longings of the heart in a way the old religion of Judaism could not do. Just as the wine that He miraculously produced was superior to the supply of wine that had been exhausted, so the new life He came to bring far surpasses anything the world had ever known before. Thus our Lord revealed the glory of His divine person and work, and “his disciples believed on him.” It is ever so. If only men will ”taste and see” [Psalm 34:8] the grace and power of Jesus Christ, they will have no difficulty believing on Him. Faith is always strengthened by a personal experience of His power. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory; and His disciples believed on Him. John 2:11

By Loving Grace
The great gift that God has given us is being able to call on His name, and by his loving grace we are saved through faith. Jesus dying on the cross for our sins so whosoever should call on his name would not perish but have everlasting life John 3:16.What a great gift. Ephesians 2:4-8 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us.5-Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ [by grace ye are saved.] 6-And hath raised us up together and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus.7-That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kingdom toward us through Christ Jesus.8- For by grace are ye saved through faith: and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. Praise God for this great gift.

New Man
When we are saved the Bible tells us that we are to put off the old man and put on the new. Ephesians 4:22-24 That ye put off concerning the old conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts. 23- and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. 24-And that you put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. I am sad to say that there are a lot of people who claim to be saved but go on living the same life style as before. There must be a change in attitude, a change in lifestyle, and a change of heart. We can’t go on living the same way we did before we were saved. We must give everything over to God, putting Him first above all things . After all God gave us the greatest gift of all His only begotten Son Jesus Christ to die for all our sins. He alone deserves all our love first above everything else. Can you truly say I have put off the old man and put on the new?. I pray so.

The Promise
Promises are easy made but sometimes hard to keep. We promise all kind of things, but sadly human promises are not always kept which can lead to all kinds of problems. Gods promises are different, we find one in Acts 1:4 that is from Jesus Himself, Creator of the universe and now resurrected Savior. What was this promise? He promised His disciples that they didn’t have to go through life alone. He promised He would send the Holy Spirit to equip them for their task. Did He deliver? Absolutely. We can be comforted in knowing that He will keep every other promise the Scriptures contain and there are many…Acts 1:4-5 And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, “which,” He said, “you have heard from Me; 5- for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now.”

Gods Love In Us
And they will know we are Christians by our love. These are the lyrics of an old song. The many ways we proclaim Jesus and confess that He is Gods Son is a sign of Gods work in us. Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him and he in God. 1 John 4:15…. Perhaps Christians have no more important role in today’s chaotic, violent world, than to show Gods love through our actions and in our words in grocery stores, restaurants, traffic, and with people we meet as we go about our daily lives. We are to be His light in a dark world. Lets let everyone know that we are proud to be a child of the King Jesus Christ and Proclaim it. And let our light shine for all to see! For the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly will perish. Psalm 1:6

Truth Or Error
Many people are searching for what is true and reliable, in the clamor of conflicting voices in today’s world, some explore age old philosophies, new age ideologies and world religions, and the occult. Others adopt what they like from various sources and their own concepts of truth. However there is one reliable source of truth with which to measure the world’s ideas. Truth is found in the Creator God of the universe who is the God of truth. [Psalms.31:5]. The Bible is God’ revelation of Himself and His message to all humanity. “All scripture is inspired by God”[2 Timothy 3:16]. God chose human writers to to record that His truth would endure to all generations.[Psalms 100:5]. We can trust the unchanging Word of God…Mark 13:31 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away. All shall perish , but Gods Word will endure. And that is the truth, with no error.

Jesus' First Miracle
During a song service in church a young woman was not singing. When asked why, she replied, "Because I cannot sing." How do you know you cannot sing?" she was asked. "Because everyone has always told me that I cannot," said the young woman. Was it because she could not, or did not?The servants drew water from the jars but dlievered wine to the governor of the feast. [John 2:8 He saith unto them, draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bear it.] Had it remained in the jars, it would have continued to be water. The Lord commanded; the servants obeyed; The Lord wrought a miracle.This is more than an account of Jesus' first miracle. It is a parable of life. How much "water" never becomes "wine" because of our disobediance? So long as your God given talents lie dormant within you, they will be of little use to you, to others or to God. However dedicated to God's will and to His work, they will manifest His glory.
