Turning water into wine is impossible for people, not for Jesus. For Jesus everything is possible and turning water into wine was a piece of cake for Him. John shares with us in his gospel many signs of Jesus, that He performed during His life, John beeing an eye-witness of many of them. Reporting Jesus’ signs and miracles, John has a purpose: so that we may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, so that we may believe in Him and receive eternal life.<\/p>\n
In John chapter 2 it is related the first sign of Jesus, how He turned the water into wine, so that His disciples may see His glory and believe in Him. For Jesus is a piece of cake to perform a miracle, yet He performed them only with a specific purpose and not arbitrary. People fallowed Him because of His signs and miracles, because they were healed and fed. When Jesus saw this attitude, He stopped showing miracles, because His purpose is to manifest His glory so that the people may listen to the good news, believe in Him and receive eternal life, even if for Him doing this was a piece of cake.<\/p>\n
Do you know that for Jesus’ disciples is a piece of cake to perform miracles? Jesus said:<\/p>\n
Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and\u00a0greater works than these he will do; because\u00a0I go to the Father. (John 14:12)<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
It sounds great, but doing this, the christians must have the attitude of Jesus Christ, in other words, to desire not their own glory from people, but to look for the greatest good that they may do for others – to tell people the gospel of peace.<\/p>\n
Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in\u00a0Christ Jesus,\u00a0who, although He\u00a0existed in the\u00a0form of God,\u00a0did not regard equality with God a thing to be grasped,\u00a0but\u00a0emptied Himself, taking the form of a\u00a0bond-servant, and\u00a0being made in the likeness of men.\u00a0Being found in appearance as a man,\u00a0He humbled Himself by becoming\u00a0obedient to the point of death, even <\/span><\/span>death on a cross.\u00a0For this reason also, God\u00a0highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him\u00a0the name which is above every name, <\/strong><\/span>so that at the name of Jesus\u00a0EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of\u00a0those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, <\/strong><\/span>and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is\u00a0Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
