Tonight I read John 2.

I really enjoyed this chapter. It tells two great stories that tell many important facts that need to be known by everyone. The first story told is about Jesus turning water into wine. This message is point blank that Jesus and God can do anything. God can heal a person of deafness, muteness, or blindness. He can do anything:

"8Then he told them, 'Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.'

They did so, 9and 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.' "

When Jesus forces the merchants out of the temple, it shows that being angry is always sin, unless it is anger in someone who mocks God. These men had set up companies in a holy temple. Jesus was outraged and forced them out. Being angry at something petty is sin. But, this is not. Another thing in this is how Jesus foretells his death. He claims he will be brought down, but brought back in three days. I also enjoyed this part because it said that Jesus knew the way of men. This ties in with John one, when it says: "He was with God in the Beginning." This chapter says in a sense that Jesus knows the ways of humans because he was their at the time of their creation.

"20The Jews replied, 'It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?' 21But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the Scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken."

Happy New Year!
Tonight I read John 1.

There is one major point I want to discuss. It shows up in verse two. Verse two reads:

"He was with God in the beginning."

I do not know how anyone else interprets it, but I believe it says that Jesus was always with God. God had always had the plan of sending our Savior. He had Jesus with him, so when Jesus was born, he really in a sense wasn't born, but born again in human form. Because of him, and God's plan, we will also one day be born again, but not as humans, but in heaven. God has planned each and every one of our lives. God had a destiny for Jesus: dying for us, and has plans for us.

The second point I believe is shown by John the Baptist in this chapter. He refuses to be called Christ as he is not. He tells that God sent him to prepare the world for Jesus. I feel like all Christians must have gotten carried away while sharing faith. John however did not. He did not make himself a Christ figure. He wasn't. But, we as believers in God sometimes feel like we're superior to non-Christians, when we're not. We're all sinners. It's something all Christians need to stop. We feel like we're better that non-Christians, but if we believe this to be true, we're worse.
