Nobel Pursuit

John 4:46
"So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum."

If you worshipped in church this past Sunday, no doubt you said to GOD; “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done..." This is something we all do as CHILDREN OF THE HEAVENLY FATHER. As we study this series we see the FAMILY TREE of the CHURCH emerge and how this tree has grown strong and big. It's true nature will be experienced as the Kingdom of GOD. This is a Kingdom where water is turned into wine and the sick are healed with simple words spoken by our Lord and Savior.

Today we return to the Gospel of John where it recorded the events when Jesus was walking the dusty streets and healing the desperately ill! He has returned to the place where He performed His first public miracle; "So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where He made the water wine. And there was a certain NOBLEMAN, whose son was sick at CAPERNAUM." This is a desperate father trying to SAVE his son. He has traveled twenty miles or more pursuing Jesus. Hoping to find Him and get Him to heal his son. The tragedy of his son's illness has caused him to act in FAITH. This is the beginning of his FAITH JOURNEY.

I will make you

Matthew 4:19&20 "19 And He saith unto them, Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed Him." In our "Follow Me" series, we study Jesus calling His disciples in the Gospel of Matthew. By the Sea of Galilee, a thriving fishing hub, Jesus saw Simon and Andrew casting nets as humble fishermen. His disciples were ordinary workers, not wealthy or educated elites. Jesus approached them and said, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men." Remarkably, they immediately left their jobs to follow Him. This brief exchange conveys a profound truth: Jesus says, "I will make you." Only God can transform us to accomplish His purpose. We should often pray, "Help me, God," seeking Jesus' guidance to follow His plan for our lives.

God’s patience

2 Peter 3:9 "The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance." God did not immediately punish King Solomon when he allowed his foreign wives to build altars for false gods. Despite multiple compromises, God remained patient. Over time, Solomon’s endorsement of idolatry defied God’s covenant, leading to divine judgment, including the loss of the kingdom for his son. Some mistake God’s patience for indifference or inaction, but He follows His plan in His timing. If our nation, culture, church, or we ourselves stray like Solomon, we can repent and return to God’s path. And, should do so sooner than later! Amen!

we also...

Romans 6:3&4 "3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 4 Therefore we are buried with Him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life." In our studies we are striving to understand God’s love and care. God's unconditional love for His followers, appreciating that we are part of GOD’S family! God is with us from cradle to grave. His divine presence is always giving us purpose and guidance. One of the most important milestones in the life of a Christian is baptism. When we are baptized, an indelible mark is made on our soul. This mark signifies a permanent transformation and dedication of the individual to God. The act of Baptism involves water and the invocation of the Holy Trinity. This ritual is seen as a symbolic washing away of original sin and a new birth into the life of Christ. Baptism is a foundational s...
