Jesus the Greater Small-town Wedding Caterer
John 2: 1-12
In his first miracle, Jesus proves that He is God by turning water into wine. Jesus steps onto the stage of a small-town community wedding celebration and signals that the long-awaited Bridegroom of Israel has arrive.
The promised Bridegroom-Creator turns ritual wash-water into a type of new covenant wine that reveals His divine glory and calls His disciples – and us – to believe in Him.
Notice in the text 3 things Jesus is doing through this miracle, and what this means for us today.
Look:
1 – Jesus New Creation (John 2: 1-4)
2 – Jesus New Covenant life (John 2: 5-8)
3 – Jesus to His glory (John 2: 9-11)
Impact Point – Jesus your empty jar—and the better wine He provides.
