Top Ten Things I Learned from Jesus Turning Water into Wine
Savior Jesus, will you be my guest and attend the events of my life as you attended the wedding at Cana?
10. Invite Jesus to your wedding, and to your marriage.
9. If it’s important to us, it’s important to Jesus.
8. Miracles don’t need to be dramatically pumped up with Hollywood-style special effects to be miracles. God performs miracles in our lives often without us noticing.
7. Listen to your mom.
6. Why does it seem like something holy happens any time Jesus is around food?
5. Jesus transforms our outward ritual (like jugs at a wedding in Cana used for ceremonial washing or the cyclical rituals of life like washing the dishes) into serving the spiritual purpose of strengthening our faith.
4. Religion and faith are not just found in church, but in all of life’s activities.
3. A wedding banquet is the perfect place for the first miracle of Jesus, who came to invite the good and the bad to the banquet of his forgiveness, love and eternal life.
2. The humble carpenter from Nazareth is the heavenly Savior God.
1. God isn’t frugal. He provides for us lavishly. Honor him with your best.
PRAYER: Savior Jesus, will you be my guest and attend the events of my life as you attended the wedding at Cana? Will you bring joy and gladness now as you did then? Will you replenish me in my need and fill me up with your abundance? Reveal to me, I pray, the miracle of your gracious love, and strengthen my faith in you. Lead me to be generous to others as you are to me. Finally, visit all who are married, and bless them with your gracious presence. Amen.
