  • AWODIJI OLANREWAJU on John 2 - 12 years ago
    Considering the fact that Mary the mother of Jesus ,Jesus brethren and Christ's diciples were at this wedding the wedding looks like the wedding of a close relative of the family to which Jesus was born into.The fact that Jesus and his disciples
    honoured this invitation is a lesson to belivers and ministers of the gospel. Therefore as ministers of the gospel we must create time out of our busy schedule to honour invitation to ceremonies such as marriage , naming ceremonies etc.

    The bible says there was set there six water pots and those were the six water pots that Jesus was going to make use of.As a believer wherever you are, you be sensitive because what will bring about a great breakthrough in our lives are usually where we are without us knowing at times.For examples Isaac had lived for long in Gerar, before he knew he was to sow in the land.It was after he sowed in the land where he had been for a long time that he became a prosperous man.(READ GEN 26)h

    When you consider that Jesus the Saviour of the world turned water into wine does that give us license to drink alcoholic wine as believers, certainly NO.Infact, when the governor of the feast tasted the water turned to wine he called the bridgroom and said you have kept the good wine till now.That means Jesus actually turned water into a good wine not to a bad wine.I believe it is called a good wine because it is not an intoxicating type of wine but a non alcoholic wine.So nobody should use John 2 as an excuse for drinking alcoholic wine.

    Another lesson from the reaction of Mary when they needed wine reveals a lot :
    1.It reveals that she is a good family woman who does not want the ceremony of her neighbour to encounter failure of any sorth
    2.It shows her faith in Jesus for she came to him to tell him the need in the feast.As believers we should also know how to take our request to God in prayer
    After the feast, Jesus and his mother, brethren and his disciples left the feast together to capernaum.This reveals that even though Jesus is the Saviour and anointed one from heaven yet he did not abandon his family and as such they attend ceremonies together and even travel together.Today, some may abandon their family members because they are born again.As believers, we should not abandon our unbelieving family members but we are to relate with Christlike love and wisdom.
