THE WONDER, THE WEDDING AND THE WINE (1)

(This is the first sermon for us in 2014. May the wonder of the person of Jesus Christ impact our lives, marriages and families in a new way this year! Miracles shall be our portion! All to the glory of God!)
ALWAYS INVITE JESUS!
 “Now both Jesus and His disciples were invited to the wedding” (Jn 2:2)

The story of how Jesus turned water into wine at a wedding in Cana is well known. We shall revisit it and look at it closely, especially at the attitude of His mother Mary. Her petition for wine can be taken as a standard prayer for all who are in need of a miracle. The Roman Catholic Church elevates Mary to a place where she does not belong. But we cannot deny the fact that in the midst of thousands of young women, Mary was God’s choice to bring His Son into the world. We shall learn wisdom from Mary, who was truly a humble and a spiritual woman indeed.

Mary had a need and then she prayed. Jehovah Jireh answered and His supply was much more than she could have imagined. Praying for the leading of the Spirit, we shall study this story once more and apply the lessons we find there in our daily lives. We pray that our faith increases, to trust God even for miracles, for nothing is impossible with Him!

INVITE JESUS TO YOUR WEDDING, TO YOUR MARRIAGE, TO YOUR HOME!
This is the story of a wedding feast in the village of Cana, in Israel. Jesus, His disciples and His mother were invited there. The word ‘invited’ in Greek means to personally call someone by name, to greet, to praise and to urge that person to come inside.
The best decision that the couple has done is to call Jesus at their wedding. His very presence there was the assurance that all things shall work together for good, no matter the need or the trial. So this is the first and the most important lesson of all!

In Christ I declare:

Jesus Christ, my Lord, you are welcome into my life, my marriage, my all!
My life, my marriage, my family, my ministry and all shall experience revival like never before!
In Jesus name
Amen!
