God's Timing

Pastor Chris discusses the details and symbolism found in the Gospel of John in chapter 2. He begins by noting the significance of the phrase "on the third day," connecting it to the resurrection of Jesus and the joy of the Christian faith. Pastor Chris also highlights the reference to the third day in the Old Testament, specifically in Exodus, where God revealed Himself to the people of Israel on Mount Sinai. He then examines the seven-day timeline presented in John's Gospel, with each day serving a specific purpose in revealing Jesus and forming a community of disciples. He emphasizes the intentionality behind the timeline and the significance of the wedding feast at Cana on the seventh day. Pastor Chris concludes by discussing the broader biblical context of the timeline, including the end-time events and the return of Jesus. He highlights the need to be watchful and ready for His return while acknowledging that the exact timing is unknown. Finally, he briefly touches on the biblical chronology and the belief that humans have been on Earth for around 6,000 years according to the Bible.   www.venicepres.org
