Sign or Signs in the 4th Gospel
I. What is the Significance of the Sign (Turning Water into Wine)?
A. To reveal the deity of Jesus - his sovereignty over matter
Manifested - reveal, to make clear
GLORY.
The Hebrew word so translated, kābôd, means the “weight” and therefore the “worth” of something—as we speak of someone whose word “carries weight.”
The glory of God is the worthiness of God,
B. The disciples believed in Him.
There are two responses to the miracles of Jesus - believe and reject
II.
Why wine?
What is the significance of wine for the Jews?
It could have been a symbolic action.
In the OT, abundant wine (and oil or milk) are signs of the age of fulfillment: Amos 9:13-14; Isaiah 25:6-9
Jesus’ conversion of such a large quantity of water into wine would indicate that the long-awaited kingdom of God had arrived.
God himself had drawn near in the person and ministry of Jesus, and the fulfillment of the promise of abundant blessings was beginning to be fulfilled.
Interpretation:
John narrates to the readers the miracle of turning water into wine to show that Jesus is God in the flesh (John 1:14).
Being divine, Jesus has the power to recreate and change matter (in the atomic level change).
The sign of turning water into wine is a foretaste of the fulfillment of the Kingdom of God.
Reflection:
I.
The presence of Christ made the difference in that wedding.
In whatever life situation you are in, do not forget to invite Jesus and include Him in your plans and activities.
His presence will surely make a difference in your life.
II.
The Bride and the groom did not realize that a miracle had occurred without their knowledge, yet they enjoy the benefits.
In the same way, many times we have not realized nor were aware of the working of God in our lives, yet we enjoy the benefits.
Application:
I. Believe that Jesus is sovereign over everything - especially over your eternal destination!
II.
Like the servants, obey Jesus to see His works unfold in your life.
