John 2:1-11
* Space-time is a paradox
* Light is a paradox
- Apathy to Awe
- Cynicism to Conviction
Miracle
It's an extraordinary & positive event that is not explicable by natural or scientific laws and attributed to God. (Divine Paradox)
Was this truly Jesus first miracle?
- Mark and Luke tell us the first miracle was in Capernaum where a demonized boy was healed in the synagogue. John tells us Capernaum happened only AFTER Cana
John 2:12
After this He went down to Capernaum, He, His mother, His brothers, and His disciples ...."
Who then were His disciples that were present?
Mark and Luke tell us the 12 disciples were only chosen AFTER He had gone down to Capernaum.
John Chapter 1 mentions only :
Andrew, Simon Peter and Philip & Nathaniel. There were only FOUR followers or "disciples"
Why do we say that?
When they ran out of wine Mary was the first to know. The servants knew who she was, she had authority over the servants.
RECEIVING YOUR MIRACLE :
Key Posture
* Look with your Heart
Look with your heart, and not with your eyes. The heart understands, the heart never lies. Believe what it feels and trust what it shows. Look with your heart, the heart always knows...
- Andrew Lloyd Webber -
When you look with your heart, it's always cannot. Jesus is the source of supply, he's the source of miracle.
God doesn't condemn, He doesn't punish. Conviction is from God
Four Keys to Receiving your miracle:
(1) Look to Jesus first (Tell Him your problem)
(2) Look beyond God's non-response (He will never turn you away)
Mark 11:24
Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
(3) Look to do whatever He tells you
(4) Look to step out in faith and receive
What do miracles look like when they happens?
- They are spectacular but SILENT
- They are public but PERSONAL
John 2:11
This was first of the miracles Jesus did in Cana of Galilee ... and His disciples believed in Him
John 4:46-47
So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he want to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
