just do it

John 2:5&6
"5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.
6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece."

It all started at this wedding, with Jesus's Mother and all about some delicious WINE! Jesus's friends are experiencing the BEST of TIMES; They are celebrating their wedding! Unfortunately, they ran out of wine! This was a time for the family to earn credit and honor with their peers. Running OUT of wine early in celebration would bring shame and disgrace. Mary doesn't want this for their friends and she knows her Son can help! 

Only, He was not ready to help, it was NOT part of GOD's plan. This is His Mother's plan, to help the friends in their hour of need. To save them from the embarrassing situation. Before Jesus was ready to start His public ministry. "His mother saith unto the servants, WHATSOEVER He saith unto you, DO IT. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece." STOP. Take just a moment and consider what might have NOT happened if the servants had NOT done "WHATSOEVER He saith unto you..." There would have been no NEW wine at this celebration. The family would have experienced embarrassment and shame. The good times for this wedding would be over and possibly some of the Disciples would not have realized just who our Lord and Savior is. Obedience is important! These nameless servants helped with Jesus's FIRST miracle! Something we cherish to this day. And, their actions had ramifications that we experience. Not all of our "Obedience" will have this profound effect, but rest assured that it does make a difference for us and for others. 💯🙏✝️

Matthew 6:27 "27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" Jesus has questions... Beginning our study this week with "Why Do You Worry?" Questions have always been a cornerstone of education, used to assess students’ knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of the subject. It makes sense that GOD would use questions VERY effectively. In yesterday's verses, Jesus asked "Are you not MUCH BETTER than birds?" His questions do not end there. In today's verse we read another one, "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?" This is a sentence our culture needs to learn. No anxiety, no thinking, no wanting will alter our bodily height, or any other condition of our life that is fixed by God’s laws. We often wish things were different than they are, but our "wo...

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...

praise Him

Luke 1:51-53 "51 He hath shewed strength with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 52 He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and exalted them of low degree. 53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." This is Mary's Magnificat. Beginning with verse forty-six Mary's responds to Elizabeth’s blessing is EPIC! In this poem Mary praises GOD for His blessing to her and His faithfulness to Israel.  Mary's Magnificat also highlights a series of reversals in which the proud are humbled and the humble are exalted! Which we read in today's verses; "He hath shewed STRENGTH with His arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seats, and EXALTED them of low degree. He hath FILLED the hungry with good things; and the rich he hath sent empty away." We should marvel at GOD'S choice of this poor young girl to be the m...
