Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee.
He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him..
After this, he went down to Capernaum,
together with his mother, his brothers,
and his disciples,
and they stayed there only a few days.
John 2:11-12 CSB
From miracle to, well, the everyday...I wonder what the conversation was about on that journey...there was no mistaking the miracle - 6 jars at 100 litres each, 600 litres of the finest wine.
The disciples believed in Jesus. Would they be trying to get more understanding of what this all means? Jesus is who he says he is, and he has transformational power.
Did they start to think about who will be most important and be able to use this power?
Was Judas among the disciples who believed in Jesus that day?
Was Jesus talking to his Mum about putting him in an awkward situation?
And where is Joseph?
Does anyone know what happened to Jesus earthly Dad?
Maybe Jesus already knows the grief of losing his Dad.
From the miracle to the ordinary.
The glimpse of the goodness and abundance of what our God envisioned the Kingdom to be, created it to be.
The glimpse of the future hope, that the best is yet to come.
Most importantly, a glimpse at the divine nature of Jesus, who he is, is revealed.

Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation,  for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. He made the things we can see and the things we can't see - such as thrones, kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created through him and for him. Colossians 1:15-16 NLT OK so this is an English translation of a letter Paul wrote to a church 2,000 years ago, but does it feel like Paul is wrestling with words and ideas to try and capture all of who Jesus is, of who God is, of how does it work that the walking around Jesus was also there before the beginning of the beginning of everything we can see and touch and know. Not only that but Jesus was somehow the agent of everything that has been made in the physical, social, and spiritual.  Jesus is at the centre of it all.  Walking around Jesus. Cooking fish for breakfast Jesus. Heart aching as he ...
Friday! Proverbs! The Lord hates six things;  in fact, seven are detestable to him:  (1) arrogant eyes,  (2) a lying tongue,  (3) hands that shed innocent blood, ... Proverbs 6:16-17 CSB This list of things that Proverbs describes that our God stands against, are anti-God, must be things that God isn't.  It's easy to use Proverbs as a weapon, to accuse or label others, but Proverbs is about finding the way of wisdom, of life, it's about the heart, mine, yours, ours.  And it's full of metaphor. Arrogant eyes. Eyes aren't arrogant, they're just that part of my body that receives visual information aren't they? Arrogant eyes. My tongue doesn't tell lies by itself, I do that. Hands that shed innocent blood - I haven't taken anyone's life... The word here for "hands" is "yad" and it is used literally and figuratively- it means an open hand (not closed) and is about direction and use of power. Proverbs invites us to sit with these p...
