Blessings to you, friends and family. It’s dim and damp outside, but it’s bright and warm in my heart as I think of you all. I so enjoyed our celebration last week. We truly have much to be thankful for.
Most of you have seen the text Facebook posts or text messages concerning Kimi. Pray for her healing, however the Lord may choose to bring it about. May His name be glorified. Also remember Bobbi and her family.
This Sunday, I’m continuing in the book of John with Chapter 2, verses 1-11. This story always puzzled me. It’s the account of Jesus’ first miracle. You might expect it to be something of great significance, but on the surface it sure doesn’t seem like it. One might even wonder just what Jesus was up to, turning water into wine so that drunken party goers can keep drinking. But as you might guess, there’s more to this story. Jesus actually makes quite a statement with this seemingly frivolous miracle. By looking a little deeper into the details, we find, as one commentator put it, a mini gospel. The end result, according to John, was that He ” revealed His glory; and His disciples believed in Him.” (v. 11)
This was a fun study, and I look forward to sharing it with you. See you then.
love y’all!
