THE ONE JESUS LOVES – 5

The Gospel of John

 

(John 20:30-31 ESV) “Now Jesus did many other SIGNS in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these [this book we’re about to read] are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.”

 

 

Do Whatever He Tells You

John 2:1-11

 

(John 14:12 ESV) “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father.

 

(John 2:5 ESV) His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

 

(John 2:1-11 ESV) On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples. 3 When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.” 4 And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.” 5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim. 8 And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.” 11 This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

 

1.  Do what He says no matter where you are.

 

(John 2:1a ESV) On the third day there was a wedding at Cana in Galilee,

 

(John 1:51 ESV) And he said to him, “Truly, truly, I say to you, you will see heaven opened, and the angels of God ascending and descending on the Son of Man

 

 

(John 2:1b-2 ESV) and the mother of Jesus was there. 2 Jesus also was invited to the wedding with his disciples.

 

2.  Do what He says in the midst of your problems.

 

(John 2:3a ESV) When the wine ran out,

 

3.  Do what He says even if you aren’t encouraged.

 

(John 2:3 ESV) When the wine ran out, the mother of Jesus said to him, “They have no wine.”

 

(John 2:4 ESV) And Jesus said to her, “Woman, what does this have to do with me? My hour has not yet come.”

 

(John 2:5 ESV) His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

 

 

4.  Do what He says even if you don’t understand the process.

 

(John 2:6-7 ESV) Now there were six stone water jars there for the Jewish rites of purification, each holding twenty or thirty gallons. 7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” And they filled them up to the brim.

 

(John 2:8-10 ESV) And he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the master of the feast.” So they took it. 9 When the master of the feast tasted the water now become wine, and did not know where it came from (though the servants who had drawn the water knew), the master of the feast called the bridegroom 10 and said to him, “Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine. But you have kept the good wine until now.”

 

(John 2:11 ESV) This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory. And his disciples believed in him.
