Christ Turns Lack to Abundance
John, the supplemental gospel
provides a fourth dimension of
Jesus’ life and ministry. Fully 92%
of John’s material is not found
in any other gospel account.
John writes to convince his readers
who Jesus is (the Son of God)
and how new life can be found
in Him. He begins in eternity past,
showing how the Word who was
one with God became flesh to take
His message of life to mankind.
Lord, You are the Game Changer:
The next day there was a wedding
celebration in the village of Cana
in Galilee. The wine supply ran out,
so Jesus’ mother told him: They
have no more wine. Jesus replied:
My time has not come. But His
mother told the servants: Do
whatever he tells you (Jn 2:1-5).
Jesus told the servants: Fill the
jars with water. When the jars
had been filled he said; Now dip
some out and take it to the master
of ceremonies. So the servants
followed His Instructions (v7-8).
This miraculous sign at Cana
in Galilee was the first time
Jesus revealed his glory. And
His disciples believed in Him (v11).
Lord, we learn that You are very
sensitive to God’s timing to publicly
demonstrate authority and power
by saying: My time has not come.
And Jesus did the miraculous sign
in such a way that met the need
of the situation, revealed the glory
of God and stimulated the faith of
the disciples. Help us Lord to be
be sensitive to Your timing. Amen.
Lord, when our lives run dry,
we rest in the hope that You will
replenish us. With patience and
sometimes without it, we plead
that You will provide what we
can never provide for ourselves.
For You Lord are the one who can
bring rest for our weary hearts,
bring peace for our troubled minds,
and bring us joy at experiencing
Your presence. In Your name. Amen
Lord, We trust You to take the
emptiness of the soul & fill us with
the richness of new creation in You.
We humbly submit ourselves to
Your transforming power & make us
into the people You want us to be.
Come and give us what we need
and come to make things complete.
We place our trust in You as we look
expectantly toward the future. Amen
