Hello
again, hope you have had a wonderful week and have been thinking on what we
have read from God's Word.
This week's reading comes from John
2:1-11.
Please read the assigned text.
Remember
if you see a scripture underlined and in red you should be
able to click and go to Bible Gateway and read the text we are talking
about.
Look at verse 11 again: "This
beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and
manifested His glory; and His disciples believed in Him. "
We have just read of the 1st
miracle that Jesus performed.
1. What was the miracle?
2. Who was with Jesus?
3. To what were they
invited?
4. In verse 3 we read "And
when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no
wine." Who was His mother? (Give scripture to prove
your answer. You will need to go somewhere else in the Bible to get
this answer.)
5. What did they run out of on
this occasion?
6. Who tasted the first
sample to?
7. What did this man do when
he had tasted it?
Verse
10 says, "And he said to him, “Every man
at the beginning sets out the good wine, and when the guests have
well drunk, then the inferior. You have kept the good wine until now!
"
8. What did the master of the
feast think the bridegroom had done?
9. Where did this take place?
10. After seeing this miracle,
what did the disciples do?
Let's
look together at what a miracle really is. I got the following defination
from a Bible dictionary:
A
sign, . an unusual occurrence, transcending the common course of nature
Of
miracles and wonders by which God authenticates the men sent by Him, or by
which men
prove that the cause they are pleading is God's
Comparing
versions:
Notice: In
verse 11 the New King James uses the word "signs"
in place of miracles (John
2:11). The King James uses
"miracles" (John
2:11).
Let's
put on our thinking caps for a minute:
Is there anyone
living today who can take and put water into a container and, when
one tastes it, it is then something other than water?
Remember, all that Jesus did was to tell the
servants to fill the pots with water (vs. 7) and
then draw some out and take to the master of the feast
(vs.8). We see in verse 9 that when the master of the feast tasted the
water that was made wine.
This was a miracle,
Jesus caused
something to happen without the aid of anything else. He turned plain
water into wine without touching or adding anything to it.
As we continue to study the word of God
we find that miracles stopped...
Read 1
Corinthians 13
In
these verses Paul is discussing the miraculous gifts that have been given.
Because the New Testament had not been written yet, these gifts were given
so others would know that these men were from God and were speaking truth.
Paul tells us in verses 8-10 that the miracles were going to stop.
(8) Love
never fails. But whether there are prophecies, they will
fail; whether there are tongues, they will
cease; whether there is knowledge, it will vanish
away.
(9)
For we know in part and we prophesy in part.
In verse 10 we see that
all of these things were stop when that which is perfect had come.
(10)
But when that which is perfect has come, then that which is
in part will be done away.
Some think "that which is
perfect" is Christ... we know He was/is perfect because the Bible
tells us so. But Christ has already come and is now sitting
at the right hand of God Mark
16:19. By studying we learn that
Paul and others wrote letters to individuals and to the Lord's churches,
these letters being in our Bibles today. Romans was written to the
church in Rome, Corinthians to the church in Corinth... Once all of
the New Testament was written then these miracles stopped.
No one can perform a miracle today!
