迦拿的婚礼
1第三日,在加利利的迦拿有娶亲的筵席,耶稣的母亲在那里。 2 耶稣和他的门徒也被请去赴席。 3酒用尽了,耶稣的母亲对他说:「他们没有酒了。」4 耶稣说:「母亲*,我与你有什么相干?我的时候还没有到。」5 他母亲对用人说: 「他告诉你们什么,你们就做什么。」6 照犹太人洁净的规矩,有六口石缸摆在那里,每口可以盛两三桶水。 7 耶稣对用人说:「把缸倒满了水。」他们就倒满了,直到缸口。 8 耶稣又说:「现在可以舀出来,送给管筵席的。」他们就送了去。 9 管筵席的尝了那水变的酒,并不知道是哪里来的,只有舀水的用人知道。管筵席的便叫新郎来,10 对他说:「人都是先摆上好酒,等客喝足了,才摆上次的,你倒把好酒留到如今!」11 这是耶稣所行的头一件神迹,是在加利利的迦拿行的,显出他的荣耀来;他的门徒就信他了。
无论你生命里有多少的辉煌, 生命中总有一天是酒尽的时候! 无论你是谁?你终究都会认识到自己的有限和无奈!人生中有很多事是无奈的, 是无法通过任何人际关系解决的。生命中只有认识耶稣基督,这位愿意启示,愿意拯救我们的主, 我们才有真正的盼望,真正的勇气去面对酒尽的时候 -- 死亡和永生!
你真正认识主吗?当你躺在病床上, 当你离开这世界的时候, 你真正有勇气面对死亡吗?你真知道耶稣吗?你有像保罗一样的勇气说: 「情愿离世与耶稣同在,因为这是好的无比。」(腓1:23)
耶稣启示自己来帮助人来相信他:
1. 耶稣基督向自己最亲近的人,自己的圈内人启示他是救主: 母亲, 我是你的主。
任何人企图想要成为耶稣基督圈内人都必须知道: 耶稣基督是他的救主,他与
耶稣基督的关系只能是神与人之间的关系, 救主和罪人之间的关系。
2. 耶稣基督向门徒启示他是门徒所信靠的救主
(1) 神迹的目的 - 显出他的荣耀来,他的门徒就信他了
(2) 耶稣,神迹的神
• 人所计划所预备的都会有疏漏和不可预见的事情发生
• 人所预备的最好的都无法和神所预备的相比
3. 耶稣基督启示他是婚宴的主: 世人, 我是那婚宴的主。
(1) 耶稣的婚宴
• 那一天, 他面前的这些门徒和全世界得救的圣徒都参加他的婚宴。
• 那一天, 面前这些被罪所捆绑的人将因着他的宝血得以洁净成为圣洁。
• 那一天, 他们将美丽圣洁无比, 那一天他的荣耀将完全彰显。
(2) 我们的婚宴
• 即使是人生中最美的宴席,最美的婚礼的结局都是以衰老、分离, 死亡为最终
的结局。
• 你知道人生的结局死亡还没有临到乃是神赐给我们每一个人恩典让我们完全拥
有他的救赎。你得到了吗?你拥有耶稣基督用自己生命换来给你的生命卷了
吗?
结论:
你信耶稣,你看见的是神迹, 还是看见荣耀?你看见的仅仅是酒,还是耶稣这位变水为酒的救主!
耶稣知道人民所面临的真正问题,他知道如何解决人的问题,他引导人们当如何相信他来经历他的救赎,进入永生。
基督是所有人当相信的主。
耶稣行的一切神迹都证明他是独一的真神。
人的一生,无论你预备多么仔细, 都会出现意想不到的事情。唯有基督能够拯救我们人生的一切尴尬, 因为他是全能的主!
唯有你相信他所启示的真正的他,毫无条件地接受他,万万全全地领受他的怜悯,让他成为你生命中唯一的救主, 你全权的主, 你的婚宴才不会尴尬,并且更加喜乐和丰盛!
Cana's wedding
1On the third day, there was a wedding feast in Cana, Galilee, where Jesus’ mother was. 2 Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the feast. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no wine." 4 Jesus said, "Mother*, what do I have to do with you? My time has not yet arrived." 5 His mother said to the employer: "What he tells you, do what you do." 6 According to the Jewish rules of cleanliness, there are six stone jars, each of which can hold two or three buckets of water. 7 Jesus said to the employers, "Pour the tank with water." They filled it up to the mouth of the tank. 8 Jesus said again, "Now you can scoop it out and give it to the feast supervisor." They sent it away. 9 The person in charge of the banquet tasted the water turned into wine, and did not know where it came from, only the person who took the water knew. The person in charge of the banquet called the bridegroom, 10 and said to him, “Everyone puts out the good wine first, and waits for the guests to drink enough before serving the last time. You keep the good wine until now!” 11 This is what Jesus did His first miracle was performed in Cana of Galilee, showing his glory; his disciples believed him.
No matter how much glory you have in your life, there will be a day in your life when the wine will run out!
Whoever you are? After all, you will realize your own limitations and helplessness! There are many things in life that are helpless and cannot be solved through any interpersonal relationship.
Only by knowing Jesus Christ in life, who is willing to reveal and save us, can we have real hope and real courage to face the time when alcohol is exhausted-death and eternal life!
Do you really know the Lord? When you are lying in a hospital bed, when you leave this world, do you really have the courage to face death? Do you really know Jesus? You have the courage of Paul to say: "I would rather die to be with Jesus, because this is so good." (Philippians 1:23)
Jesus revealed himself to help people believe in him:
1. Jesus Christ revealed to those closest to him and his circle that he is the Savior:
Mother, I am your Lord.
Anyone who attempts to become a member of the circle of Jesus Christ must know:
Jesus Christ is his savior, and his relationship with Jesus Christ can only be the
relationship between God and man, the relationship between the savior and
sinners.
2. Jesus Christ revealed to his disciples that he was the savior they trusted
(1) The purpose of the miracle-show his glory and his disciples will believe in him
(2) Jesus, God of miracles
· There will be omissions and unforeseen things that people plan and prepare
· The best prepared by man cannot be compared with what God prepared
3. Jesus revealed that he is the lord of the wedding feast: Everyone, I am the lord of
the wedding feast.
(1) The wedding feast of Jesus
> That day, these disciples before him and the saved saints all over the world
attended his wedding banquet.
> That day, those who are bound by sin in front of you will be cleansed and
sanctified by his blood.
> That day, they will be beautiful and holy, and that day his glory will be fully
revealed.
(2) Our wedding reception
> Even the most beautiful banquet in life, the most beautiful wedding ending is
aging, separation, and death.
> You know that the end of life, death has not yet come, but the grace that God
has given to each of us allows us to have his salvation completely. Did you get
it? Do you have the life roll that Jesus Christ gave you in exchange for your
own life?
Conclusion:
When you believe in Jesus, do you see miracles or glories? What you see is only wine, or Jesus, the Savior who turned water into wine!
Jesus knows the real problems facing the people, he knows how to solve their problems, and he guides people how to believe in him to experience his salvation and enter eternal life.
Christ is the Lord that everyone should believe.
All the miracles performed by Jesus prove that he is the only true God.
In a person's life, no matter how carefully you prepare, unexpected things will happen. Only Christ can save all the embarrassments of our lives, because He is the Almighty Lord!
Only if you believe in the real him he has revealed, accept him unconditionally, receive his mercy completely, and make him the only savior in your life, your sovereign Lord, your wedding feast will not be embarrassing, and more joyful and rich!
