What does it take to see the miracle?

Faith

Servanthood

Gratitude

Expectation

The reason that I say this is because of John 2–Jesus first miracle, the miracle at Cana.

John 2

1On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, 2and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.”   4“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.”   5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”   6Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.  7Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they filled them to the brim.   8Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.”   9They did so, and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10and 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.”   11This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.

Jesus first miracle occurred in the town of Cana.  This is the beginning of the story of why I have decided to make Jesus my LORD and SAVIOR.  Lord meaning He is in charge of my life….Savior meaning He is my only hope to find eternal life.

And this story encourages us to do a few things if we truly want Him to “show up” and do something in our wrecked lives.

Faith is what Mary showed when she KNEW that Jesus could fix the situation.

Servanthood allowed men to fill water jars and truly see miracles.  Have you ever seen a miracle?  Notice what John communicates to us:  ONLY the servants saw the miracle.

Gratitude is what the Master of the Banquet showed when he drank the wine….and it is a household truth we should all grasp on to:  Jesus saves the best for now.

Expectation is what I challenge you to do today.  It is our expectation in 2017 combined with seeking out Jesus that leads to us having miraculous things happen in our lives.

Albert Einstein had it figured out, I believe, when he said:  “There are only two ways to live your life: as though nothing is a miracle, or as though everything is a miracle.”

I believe that Jesus wants to work in our lives today….restoring friendships and families, rescuing drug addicts, putting hope on people who are lost.  In fact, I have seen Him do so much that I am FULLY CONVINCED of His power in my life.  In John’s book, he constantly refers to himself as the disciple whom Jesus loved…..that was him, that is me, and that is you.

So cry out for a miracle with Faith, Servanthood, Gratitude and Expectation……then write back to the blog and testify to what He did!

In the Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit.  Amen.
