“Never Enough”

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

All the stars we steal from the night sky

Will never be enough

Never be enough

Towers of gold are still too little

These hands could hold the world but it'll

Never be enough

Never be enough

All the shine of a thousand spotlights

Never be enough

Never be enough

Never be enough

With out Jesus there is never enough.

We will always run out.

We will run out of popularity, being known, we will run out of feel good moments (special moments), we will run out of money, we could have everything in the world but it still wouldn’t be enough, without Jesus at the center.

—> So what happens next...

—> Someone knows where to find more

—> vrs 3-5 Mary doesn’t know how it will happen but she knows who will make it happen

—> vrs 6-7 Jesus doesn’t use anything out of the ordinary for this miracle to happen

—> everyone had already used those jars when they had come in

—> it was normal, plan, ordinary, until Jesus made it more

—> vrs 8-10

—> What Jesus has for us is better than anything we could ever do for ourselves.

—> They gave the best they had and had run out.

—> Jesus took what was normal, plan, ordinary and made it the better than their best.

—> not just in flavor but in quantity (1,000 bottles)

—> Jesus provides in abundance what we can never supply for ourselves

—> why does he provide?

—> This wasn’t a party trick or a one and done

—> Jesus provide life for a young couple

—> In this day and time the wedding was the event and not just a one day, one evening event, it would be a week long gathering.

—> the groom is held responsible for providing everything and if something were to run out it would bring shame and dishonor on this new couple.

—> so from Jesus’ first miracle he sets the tone for the rest of his ministry

—> Jesus turns our shame and our running out of what this world offers

—> Into a fresh start and a new begining

—> Jesus wants to take your never enough and give you hope and future

—> Don’t expect this to look like what the world has though the lights, the recognition, the money, it will look normal, humble, it will look like worship, and service.

It will look like Jesus.
