Here is the beauty and glory of Jesus. He is both man and God. Manhood- He is the promised Messiah. The true and faithful covenant Son of God. Adam, Israel, David were all son’s of God, but Jesus surpasses them all because he will succeed where those son’s failed. He will do His Father’s will to the point of death. Godhead- He is the natural Son of God. God from the essence of God. He performs this miracle on His own merit. Jn 5:26. He ushers in the New Creation on His own divine authority(as we’ll learn more next time). This is our savior. These words should evoke increased faith in us, increased meditations on Jesus glory, increased love for Him, increased hope of and anticipation of what is to come when what has only been culminated in us will be consummated at His second coming. “Behold, I am making all things new”. He only turned water into wine here….what does he do in us??
