Whatsoever He saith unto you, DO It.

 

21, 2024- Monday Morning Bible Reading and Meditation from John 2 KJV FOR Mithcah Bible Baptist Church- Bahrain Morning Online Devotional Bible Study – October 22, 2024

“3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. 

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoeverhe saith unto you, do it.”

 

Thoughts: Whatsoever He saith unto you, DO It. 

 

This chapter from the book of John is well known to all preachers, teachers, to the scholars of GOD’s words and almost all Christians, to be the first miracle of JESUS during His earthly ministry.

 

Nevertheless, there are some messages that we may dig deeper to further understand the humanity, much more the Godhead of The LORD our Savior.

To name the few of some particular message, we can account are these:

1. Jesus, His mother and His disciples are invited to the wedding. Approximately 7 km away from Nazareth where Jesus lives. This proved that before His baptism, He and His mother already have a wide range circle of people, that they were invited. -Speaks about, JESUS Popularity was established.v.1,2

2. Jesus’ mother Mary informed Him that theyrun out of wine. Thoughts conceived in my mind that His mother might have hadexperiences about miraculous provision in times when they lack something, take note that His poster father Joseph was never mentioned to be around. Then, Jesus respond to His mother in an uncustomary way calling her “woman” and what He did after being informed about the shortage of wine supply. -Speaks about JESUS’ Power

➢ He called His mother “woman” v.4 Jesus saithunto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

➢ He ordered the servants: 7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. 

➢ The waters turned out into wine; the best wine that should have been served first in any occasion. 8-10

 

3. Though Jesus rebuked His mother for informing Him that “they had no wine” that He called her woman instead of mother, He still did what He did to provide for the need. Speaks about, JESUS’ Providential grace.

 

4. Jesus, together with His mother, His brethren and His disciples walked around 40 km to Capernaum for Cana as their ministerial journey, and From Capernaum to Jerusalem of about 200 km, about 3 days walk, to attend the feast of the Passover. Then in the temple, upon seeing the trading activities inside the court of the temple, He scourge the animals,loosening them; then he overthrew the tables of the money changer therein. This speaks about JESUS’ Prowess(fortitude) and Positional Sovereignty. V. 12-25 

 

JESUS in His humanity, did not brag about His popularity and power. But in every occasion that His Godhead is needed, His providential grace never fails, that His mother never hesitated to inform Him what is needed. He even exerted much effort to walk with them throughout the winding path with His feet, sustaining the strength of His companion to reach their destination: from Galilee to Cana, From Cana to Capernaum, then from Capernaum to Jerusalem. 

Jesus’ mother, brethren and His disciples walked with Him all along without worrying of the long journey, their supplies, their safety and their strength; for we can conclude that the Son of God who walk with them, sustained them of all these things; we can say: everything 

Just as His mother told the servant these words: “whatsoever He says to you, do it”; we too should not hesitate. For Jesus Mighty Power and His Position in Godhead will sustain our strength. He promised to walk with us even in the darkness of the night. No need to worry about everyday life’s battle, for He already won the fight. 

Let us then keep our mind and body doing what He said from His words. And keep our hearts be willing to continue in this life’s journeys while glorifying His Name through our good works. No matter how hard struggles can be, no matter what life in us throws, Let The Son of GOD our Savior JESUS CHRIST take charge of our tomorrows. 

Romans 8;28-32, 35-39.  

Good morning. 

John 2:1-25 KJV -

1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:

2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.

3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.

4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.

5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoeverhe 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.

7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.

8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.

9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,

10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.

11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

12 After this he went down to Capernaum, he, and his mother, and his brethren, and his disciples: and they continued there not many days.

13 And the Jews' passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,

14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:

15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;

16 And said unto them that sold doves, Takethese things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.

17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine house hath eaten me up.

18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?

19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroythis temple, and in three days I will raise it up.

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?

21 But he spake of the temple of his body.

22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.
