Show notes
In this Sunday message, Pastor Greg Laurie points you to Jesus’ first miracle, what this shows about faith, and the Christian’s future is bright.
Notes
Have you ever asked God for a sign?
Jesus was asked for signs.
Jesus gave the sign the Pharisees and Sadducees asked for; they just did not like it and asked for more.
The Great “I Am” Statements of Christ:
- I Am the Bread of Life – John 6.
- I Am the Light of the World – John 8.
- I Am the Door of the Sheep – John 10.
- I Am the Good Shepherd – John 10.
- I Am the Resurrection and the Life – John 11:25.
- I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life – John 14:6.
7 Signs that Prove Jesus is the Messiah:
- Turning water into wine.
- Cleansing the temple – John 2:13–22.
- Healing the centurion’s son – John 4:46–54.
- Healing the lame man in Jerusalem – John 5:1–15.
- Feeding the 5,000 – John 6:1–15.
- Healing the man who was born blind – John 9.
- Raising Lazarus from the dead – John 11.
Jesus was preparing them for the ultimate sign … His death and resurrection from the dead.
If you want to win some, you need to be winsome.
Be a witness, and you will better be able to witness.
Jesus’ first miracle simply brought joy to people.
Not only did Jesus’ first miracle impress those assembled, but it impacted His own followers!
As believers, we need to believe our beliefs and doubt our doubts.
My hour has not yet come.
But His mother told the servants, “Do whatever He tells you” (John 2:5).
The way the miracle was done is important.
Jesus did not tell them what would happen; He just told them to do it.
Faith is not just intellectual ascent; it’s action!
Faith is the means by which the infirmity of man takes hold of the infinity of God.
The devil and this world always offer the best wine at first and the diluted later, while God saves His best wine for last.
You determine the end of your life by the beginning of it.
- The best is yet to come in this life.
- The best is yet to come in the afterlife.
We will come back with Jesus to a new earth.
For the nonbeliever, the worst is yet to come, and this life is as good as it gets.
For the believer, this life is as bad as it gets.
The worst is yet to come because the Bible promises a future judgment.
