Are you waiting for God to move, or is God waiting for you to get moving? This weekend Pastor Steve Andres kicked off our spring series, Waiting On A Miracle.
John 2:10
Then the master of ceremonies called the groom aside and said, “Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now.”
The first miracle in the ministry of Jesus took place at one of the most common events happening around the world then and today.
1) Your mundane is the setting for his miracle.
Jesus will meet us in the everyday spaces of our lives. Jesus’ whole ministry took him places no one expected him to go, with people no one expected him to be with.
2) Your expectation is the invitation.
Why was Jesus at this wedding? The answer is simple: he was invited (John 2:2). Are you inviting him into your home, your workplace, your marriage and finances?
3) Your involvement is the catalyst for his power.
Mary says to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.” (John 2:5) Mary knows that Jesus isn’t going to get involved until the servants get involved with faith and obedience.
Jesus’ ministry begins and ends with wine. Years later, suffering on the cross, Jesus is offered bitter wine to drink. Jesus tasted this bitter cup of judgment so we could taste the sweetness of God’s grace!
