Water in wine; transformed

John 2: 1-11

Water in wine. Transformed ... It happened on the third day.

Resurrected on the third day ...
Like Jonah the third day he was returned from the fish ...
How Paul was taken to the third heaven ...
The disciples, on the third day, were already desperate and said that he had not been resurrected.
On the third day people despair. The common man waits the first day with patience. The second with nervousness, but the third with despair.

On the third DAY ...

It is interesting to meditate on the Word and make it your own. John is narrating a summary of Jesus' life, to focus on his last two weeks.

THAT GOOD WAS THAT WE LET THE EYES IN JESUS ​​AND WE FOCUS ON THESE FUTURE DAYS. IN THE TIME WE LIVE.

Let's not blur, Church. God did not say it was going to be easy. He said that it would be possible if we stayed with him. He said that if we stayed with him and in his Word, we could ask for everything we wanted and the Father would give it to us.

On the third day ...

The joy has passed. Already the reality begins to notice. We already miss the one who left ...

On the third day ...

The problems are going to come. Luke 17: 1-5 Jesus said to his disciples: It is impossible for trouble to come; but woe to him by whom they come! THEY WILL TAKE YOU THROUGH ... 17: 2 It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck and thrown into the sea, than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. THEY SUCK AGAINST YOU ... 17: 3 Look for yourselves. If your brother sins against you, rebuke him; and if he repented, forgive him. THEY WILL SINCE MANY TIMES AGAINST YOU ... 17: 4 And if I sin against you seven times a day, and come back to you seven times a day, saying, I repent; forgive him. OPEN YOUR EYES! 17: 5 The apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith. It was not to increase it, it was simply to have it, God would take care of the rest.

ON THE THIRD DAY.

On the third day of what?

We have to understand what Juan is telling us. Your purpose

John presents Jesus Christ as the Son of God. God made man, incarnate. Without ceasing to be God, it was given to save humanity. The primary point of the coming of Christ was not simply to die. Many men have died of death more painful than the one Jesus physically suffered.

We are talking about the purpose.

Source

We are seeing the person. Who died. Who humbled himself Who conquered death and the curse and FOR YOU AND FOR ME, became sin so that we would become the righteousness of God in HIM. He accused us of justice.

FOR John, the first day was when John the Baptist declared I AM THE VOICE. I AM NOT THE MESSIAH. I AM THE MESSENGER. THE MESSIAH COMES.

The second day is presented to the Messiah. John 1: 29. The next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and said: Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. 30. This is he of whom I said: After me comes a man, who is before me; because he was first than me.

The third day could be seen as when he began to perform miracles.

WE DO NOT HAVE A SAFETY THAT JUAN REFERRED TO WITH 'THE THIRD DAY', BUT WE CAN DO THE WORD OURSELVES.

John 2: 1-9 On the third day there were weddings in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there. 2. And Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the wedding. 3. And lacking wine, the mother of Jesus said to him: They have no wine.4. Jesus said to him: What do you have with me, woman? My time has not yet come. 5. His mother said to those who served: Do everything I tell you. 6. And there were six jars of stone for water, according to the rite of purification of the Jews, in each of which there were two or three pitchers. 7. Jesus said to them, Fill these jars with water. And they filled them up. 8. Then he said to them: Take out now, and take it to the master of the feast. And they took him. 9. When the steward tried the water made wine, without knowing where he was from, although the servants who had drawn the water knew it, he called the husband,

The sugar and the acids that the fruit possesses, Vitis vinífera, are sufficient for the development of the fermentation. The transformation of the grape into wine is a sum of environmental factors: climate, latitude, altitude, hours of light and temperature, among several others.

Jesus wants to make a miracle in your life. He wants to turn water into wine. Your natural life changed to something that is truly going to be taken advantage of

We have been transformed, we must set our eyes on Jesus Christ and keep our faith alive even in the midst of the most dangerous situations.

But he does not want so many factors involved. He wants a non-fermented wine. A soft wine

Mosto

Liquid resulting from the pressing or pressing of fresh grapes, provided that their natural fermentation has not begun. It is called "wort off" when its natural fermentation has been prevented or stopped by any physical procedure, such as cold, or chemical. The must is always a non-alcoholic drink.

A wine product of its action, not of the world. Many will want to interfere. The devil, the flesh, inside, outside ...

Notice that Mary came to ask for others. God does not want interference. We have the power to go directly to the throne of grace.

Hebrews 4:16 Let us, therefore, approach the throne of grace with confidence, in order to obtain mercy and find grace for TIMELY relief.

We must ask. There is a need. In the middle of situations do not simply act, PRAY.

Note the words of Peter:

John 6: 67-69 Then Jesus said to the twelve: Do you also want to leave? 6:68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? You have words of eternal life. 6:69 And we have believed and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.

Why do we go first to the neighbor, to the compadre, to the pastor, to dad or to mom when we have a situation? Let's go to Jesus. First.

When that third day of despair comes, let's get to Jesus directly.

Let's not despair. The time will come. God has not forgotten about us. God has not forgotten you. It still saves. God wants to save you. God wants to give you life. But you must recognize who you are and go to Jesus for yourself.

Do not look for intermediaries. God loves you. John 3:16 But you are a sinner. Romans 3: 23a and the wages of sin is death. Separation from God for eternity. Romans 3: 23b But Christ died to forgive your sins. Romans 5: 8 He invites you to come to Him. It is the same call for the sinner and the troubled.

Matthew 11: 28-30 Come to me, all you who are WORKED and laden, and I will give you rest. 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls; 11:30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden light.

He is going to turn your water into wine. You will reconcile your family. It's going to give you a new reason to live

And others will see the change and praise you

John 2: 9-11. When the steward tried the water made wine, without knowing where he was from, although the servants who had drawn the water knew it, he called the husband, 10. And said to him: Every man serves good wine first, and when they have drunk much, then the inferior; but you have reserved the good wine until now. 11. This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

But let's notice the last verse. 11. This beginning of signs Jesus did in Cana of Galilee, and manifested his glory; and his disciples believed in him.

Here is the key. Believe on him. May what God does in your life serve so that others may believe in Him.

Why did he turn water into wine? So that they believed in him. Even today Christ is working miracles. Miracles are you and me. Our changed lives will cause others to see Jesus and believe in him.

What do I want to convey?

That we have been transformed and we must put our EYES in Jesus Christ and keep our faith alive even in the midst of the most dangerous situations. God will act and others will believe in Him
