Episode 231: John 2

Today's meditation is on John Chapter 2

To have the humility and obedience of Mary. When Gabriel told her she was going to have a child by the Holy Spirit, she said "Be it unto me according to your word." When the wine ran out at the wedding at Cana, she told the servants "Do whatever Jesus tells you." She exemplified total trust and submission. There is nothing more beautiful to God than that.

This first miracle that Jesus performed is rich with symbolism and meaning. Just as the water in the clay jar was turned to wine, this clay pot that is my earthly body was washed with the water of the word, purified, transformed and filled with the new wine of the Holy Spirit. 

Just as at the wedding feast, this new wine is the best wine. There is nothing better, nothing more exquisite than being filled up with the Spirit of God. 

I am consumed with a fiery passion for the things of God. When I see God's house and God's Word trampled on, and being exploited for monetary gain, I am filled with a righteous anger. God's house is not a marketplace. It is a house of prayer, a place of refuge, a place to worship my God and bring him my highest praise. And the Word is God-breathed, filled with the very power of the Father himself. 

While others may demand a miraculous sign in order to believe in God, his Word is my proof. It is my title deed. God knows my heart. And through God's Word and through the life of Jesus, I know God's heart. 

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
