One thing that should gladden our hearts is that Jesus Christ, though God, was not too spiritual to participate in man’s everyday
experience whether it is a wedding feast which gives us pleasure, a funeral which gives us pains,a sport by which we are
entertained,an occupation by which we earn a living,or a course of study in which we are involved- it matters to Jesus because it affects us.
John 2:1-11
1. And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:
2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.
3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.
4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.
5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.
7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.
8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.
9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,
10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.
11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.
Jesus’s involvement in such anapparently mundane thing as a wedding and it’s festivities may appear rather difficult for some people to understand.
Surely, the saviour of mankind must be much more concerned with things that are sublime and of eternal value
But we must know that a wedding, with it festivities, is about man – about people! The people to whom he brought salvation.
One thing that should gladden our hearts is that Jesus Christ, though God, was not too spiritual to participate in man’s everyday
experience whether it is a wedding feast which gives us pleasure, a funeral which gives us pains,a sport by which we are
entertained,an occupation by which we earn a living,or a course of study in which we are involved- it matters to Jesus because it affects us
But there is an important condition which has to be dulfilled .it is inviting him to our affairs.
Neglecting to invite Jesus into even the most ordinary things of our life has the same consequences as driving him away from partaking in our everyday experience (see Matthew 8 verse 28 to 34).
But take note that when He is invited He must be seen to be the one in charge: “whatever he tells you to do, do it” (v.5 ).
Jesus can never accept to play the second fiddle. That is why he is the Lord. It is only when you invite him to your situation and do
His bidding that he turns that situation around for your blessing and for the glory of His name.
Prayer
Loving Jesus,I thank you because you are all there for me. Help me to remember that every aspect of my earthly life matters to you and
that I must allow you to have the final say so that whatever the devil plans to bring me embarrassment will turn out to my joy and fulfillment..Amen
Shalom….
