Water to Wine

  John 2:1-11. Here we see the small glimpse of what is known as Jesus' first miracle, water to wine. Attending a wedding, Jesus was asked to somehow provide wine for the event. Telling the servants to get 6 pots of water, He told them to fill everyone's cup with the water. And to the servant's surprise, the water turned to wine. It interesting to think about.. Jesus Christ's first miracle was simply to provide a beverage for a wedding.. not healing, raising the dead, or walking on water. What was the purpose of it?
  I guess in my point of view, changing water to wine is impossible. It goes against the laws of the universe. But Jesus Christ made it possible. He makes things ALL possible. The Apostle Paul said that through Christ we can do all things (Philippians 4:13). But where I'm getting at is that Christ can also change all things, even when it seems impossible. He can turn a dark situation into a good one. He can heal us, temporally and spiritually. And most importantly, He can change who we are, to become better people. Through Christ we can be forgiven of our mistakes, and move forward. Don't get discourage if you feel you can't change.
  Remember, Christ did change water to wine. Have faith in Him. Know that everything is possible with Christ!
