INTRO: Our first point in this series was the introduction of the Messiah to the world. Our second point was the preparation of the Messiah for the world. Our third point is the authentication of the Messiah to the world. It is interesting that the Lord inspired only four accounts of over 50 that were written of the life of Christ. The number four speaks of that which is universal, and in these Gospels we have universal authentication of the Messiah, Jesus Christ.
Our passage this morning is John 2:1-11. It is the account of Jesus' first recorded miracle. He turned about 120 gallons of water into wine. Probably no miracle has suffered more abuse than this one. There is a reason for that. When I did the series I called, "Wine And The Bible", the first message I did was on what I called Christianity's Scanlon error. In the messages I gave the law case Lee Strobel gives in his book, "The Case For Christ." It was a charge of attempted murder against James Dixon who apparently tried to shoot Sergeant Scanlon. The case was an open and shut case. Dixon was guilty. Then came the voice of an informant. The case was reopened and it was found that Dixon was not guilty. He was acquitted, and Scanlon lost his badge.
