Is Turning Water into Wine a Lightweight Miracle? | John 2:1-11 | Ken Dorrity

John states the purpose in John 20:30-31.  30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. A.   The Ministry of the Pre-incarnate King (1:1-18)B.    The Ministry of the Incarnate King (1:19-19:42)C.   The Ministry of the Risen King (20:1-21:25)Weddings could last a week, and supplies would be needed for all the guests.   Responsibility for providing appropriate hospitality for the family, friends, and guests.    Running out of wine during the weeklong celebration would be insulting to all the guests, reflected poorly on the bridegroom, and could face a lawsuit.John 2:4 - Jesus was not be disrespectful for calling Mary, "woman."  Like Ma'am or Madam today.  He used the same term from the cross in John 19:26What was the hour?  The hour was the time of Jesus’ suffering and death.  John 7:30; 8:20; 12:23DA Carson – “John prefers the simple word, ‘signs.’  Jesus’s miracles are never simple naked displays of power, still less neat conjuring tricks to impress the masses, but signs, significant display of power that point beyond themselves to the deeper realities that could be perceived with the eyes of faith.”Is turning water to wine a lightweight miracle?  It might seem like it compared to raising someone from the dead, but like the other miracles, it points to Jesus being the MessiahDo we have eyes of faith, looking around to see the little ways Jesus shows Himself to us?
