第二章
3 酒用盡了,耶穌的母親對他說:「他們沒有酒了。」 4 耶穌說:「母親(原文是婦人),我與你有甚麼相干?我的時候還沒有到。」 5 他母親對用人說:「他告訴你們甚麼,你們就做甚麼。」
11 這是耶穌所行的頭一件神蹟,是在加利利的迦拿行的,顯出他的榮耀來;他的門徒就信他了。
23 當耶穌在耶路撒冷過逾越節的時候,有許多人看見他所行的神蹟,就信了他的名。 24 耶穌卻不將自己交託他們;因為他知道萬人, 25 也用不著誰見證人怎樣,因他知道人心裏所存的。
默想:
- 6-12節是第一個神蹟,進一步證明耶穌所行的,是繼續神的工作。耶穌的神蹟與其他很多的神蹟(如:神七日的創造),都是幫助我們認識到,神仍然在祂所創造的地上工作。無論我們是否意識到,神今天仍然工作,在祂所作的每一件事情上,彰顯祂的美善和榮耀。
- 當我了解到,所有的神蹟都是向我表明神的榮耀,神的大能,與神的存在時,我還要怎樣抗拒神醫治的大能與豐富的供應呢?在我的與神同行的屬靈歷程上,我曾見證過哪些神蹟(神的作為)?
禱告與筆錄:
繼續安靜在神面前,與神對話,並聆聽祂對我說的話。將心中的思想(心得),或是與神的禱告,記錄在「靈程筆記簿」上面。
CHAPTER 2
3When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” 4“Dear woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied, “My time has not yet come.” 5His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
11This, the first of his miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory, and his disciples put their faith in him.
23Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. 24But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. 25He did not need man’s testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man.
Meditation:
- This is Jesus’ first sign that is further proof of the actions of Jesus continuing the act of God. This sign along with many others (i.e. seven days of creation) help us to realize that God is still at work in this land that he has created. And whether or not we see it, he is still working today revealing his goodness and glory in everything he does.
- When I truly understand that all signs point me to God’s glory, power and existence, will I still resist God’s healing and provision? What signs have I witnessed in my journey with God?
Prayer & Journaling:
Stay with God for a little longer. Continue to converse with God and listen to what he wants to tell me. Then write down any thought and/or prayer in the 2012 “Spiritual Journal” book.
