“ Great Sermon! ”
Water Made To Wine -- John 2:9 - the first sign which is more than a miracle.
Place: Cana of Galilee. Why Cana? What is its significance? Cana's significance is its total insignificance. What is in Cana of Galilee? No temple, no religion, as a city, can't be compared like Nazareth is a city. 'Is there anything good coming from Nazareth?' It is in Jerusalem that has got the glory. What's Cana got? Let them nothing. It has got one thing, Christ is there! No religion, no temple, no ceremonies, no priest, no Levites, no forms, but this, nothing but Christ. Risen the third day from the dead in a figure with His own people drawn to Him, where Christ is all and in all in virtue of the fact that there's nothing else there! Is that how you are? What a place to get to. Nothing but Christ. Nothing you can do, nothing they can do, nothing I can do, nothing else you try you can do. But everything in this place, Christ has done all for this person 'for being at such a place'. Where nothing exist but Himself. Religiously speaking, is this how I am, is the lesson I got. |
