READ JOHN 2
In this passage we see Jesus changing water to wine, clearing the Temple and performing many miracles but he hesitates to entrust himself to the people of Jerusalem.
In verses 1 through 11 Jesus changes water to wine at a wedding banquet as his first miracle. From this section we learn that even though we know the power and sovereignty of Jesus, we must wait on him to do his will in his way in our life.
How are you not waiting on Jesus? How does your displeasure with the circumstances of your life manifest in your actions.
How would your actions change if you were more satisfied with the sovereign control of Jesus in your life?
In verses 12 through 22 we see how Jesus clears the Temple at Passover showing his authority. He is also questioned by the Jews to provide more signs, and describes how he will rebuild the temple in three days. The response of the people to the truth presented by Jesus shows us that the scriptures reveal the Glory of Jesus as the Son of God but are difficult to understand by unbelievers.
How has Jesus revealed his Glory to you? How could you better remember these times of revelation?
What does scripture say about the future Glory of Jesus?
In verses 23 through 25 we see that while Jesus was in Jerusalem many saw his miracles and believed yet he did not entrust himself to them. He knew what was in them. Jesus knows the heart of every person. He knows your heart...
Do you have a genuine faith in Him as your Lord and Savior?
How does your faith change depending on your circumstances?
