Jn 2,7-10
· (13m)
Serve God faithfully –
God often asks you to do things that you don’t understand, but will
understand later if you do them. We should have the attitude that Mary, His
mother, spoke to the servants, "Whatever He says to you, do it." We
don’t have the big picture like God does, so we can’t make judgments about
the validity of God’s requirements on our lives. We are better off just
doing what He says without asking any questions like these servants did and
later discovering what it was all about as we enjoy the rewards of our faith
and obedience.

Transferring authority >> Receiving the delegated authority of Christ –
Jesus had the headwaiter taste the new wine first in recognition of his
authority, just as God delegates His authority within the godhead and
disseminates it throughout the church. We too should recognize the authority
of Christ as coming from the Father, and delegate our authority from God
though the hierarchy that exists within the church and throughout the world.

Thy kingdom come >> Manifestations of faith >> Boldness in adverse
circumstances >> Do the will of God in the face of adversity –
Jesus drove out the moneychangers from the temple with a whip. This happens to
be the favorite Scripture of many anti-Semitic, white supremacy groups, who
claim that the Jews who held Israel in bondage to their money system in
Jesus’ day are the ancestors of the Jewish bankers presently holding the
world hostage to their ruthless debt-based money system. We should be driving
the moneylenders from the economic system of our day, but no one is stepping
to the plate like Jesus did.

Works of the devil >> The religion of witchcraft >> Hypocrisy
>> Jesus rebukes the Pharisees >> Rebuked for questioning His
authority –
After Jesus overturned their tables and drove them from the temple,
they asked the Lord by what authority He did this. His answer, “Destroy this
temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” Jesus was the embodiment of
God’s grace and mercy, and the only way He could show them the love of God
was with a whip. In Matthew chapter 24 He asked them, “How will you escape
the sentence of hell?” meaning they wouldn’t. Since these people were dead
while they lived (Jude 12) and judged before the time (Mat 8-29), it indicates
that they were literally incapable of repenting of their unbelief. These men
were incapable of receiving what Jesus came to offer the world; they didn’t
deserve the truth.
