John's Digital Pics Of Jesus: THE WEDDING PLANNER

John 2:1-10 or JPEG.2
 
As we look at John's digital picture album, we see JPEG.2, We see his lens focused on a wedding to which Jesus and His disciples were invited.  They were indeed "partying on."  It looks like MOM/ Mary was the wedding planner of some kind???  Refreshments were running low.  So she set the example for us on how to handle even "the small stuff" of life.  And rather sweat the "Small Stuff," She did what God tells us to do... Cast all your cares on HIM because He cares for you.
 
Check out John 2:1-10 and you will see Jesus first Miracle came as He obeyed (honored) His MOM. The Miracle was not about opening blinded eyes, causing the mute to talk, causing the deaf to hear.  It was not about standing up a paralyzed person so they could carry their bed home on the Sabbath.  No... it was nothing as profound as these.  It did, however, set the stage for all that would come later, including these miracles I mentioned. 
 
This may surprise you, but the miracle at this Wedding Party was simply a miracle to keep the party going.   Yup! John took a picture of Jesus - "A Man of sorrows acquainted with grief-" Keeping a party from being a bust.  He was celebrating on that day, and He helped others continue the Joy, Peace, Happiness and Blessedness of the Sacredness of Marriage (the symbol of His own "Marriage Supper of The Lamb.)"  He made Sacred that which is Sacred because it represents the ultimate fulfillment of Christ's Redemption Plan, when His Bride (the Church) is presented to Him (The Bridegroom) pure, spotless, redeemed and forgiven. 
 
Therefore, JPEG. 2 is one that should surely be left in this E-Album of pictures.  Why?  Because Jesus began His earthly miracles celebrating and setting the stage for the final act of His redemptive plan.  He made sacred the marriage of a Man and a Woman because of what it represents.
 
Get The Picture?
Save It To The Album Of Your Heart.
 
Then Be Blessed 2day... Especially Today :O)

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #20 Shake A Little Salt

  The Challenge of Having An Unsavory Life. We live in a world where a whole lot of people are suffering:  Many struggle spiritually. Others,  because of their spiritual issue, have emotional struggles. Still others have relationships that are strained. Financial issues also may be added into the mix; additionally, physical challenges,  or health challenges, are a part of this. Mix a little high pace, and rarely slowing down in life, and you can see something is really going on impacting life in a negative way. In other words  all of these, plus any number of other things experienced in the 21st century, contribute to people experiencing unsavory lives. Jesus Speaking to You and M e Jesus has something to say about this. And He wants each of us to help out by, first beginning to embrace our identity. He wants us "become" so we match our identity, and if we don't, we really miss out and mess up.  Check out what He says, as He expressly tells us who we are. A...

Stepping Stones For Victorious Christ Centered Living #1 Therefore, anyone who hears the words of mine-- and puts them into practice -- is like a wise man who built his house on a rock: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house; yet, it did not fall, because it had its foundation on THE ROCK! BUT Everyone who hears these words of mine, and does NOT put them into practice, is like a foolish man who built his house on sand: The rain came down, the streams rose, the winds blew, and beat against the house. And IT FELL WITH A GREAT CRASH! Jesus (Matthew 7:24-27 S T O R M S Storms seem to come into everyone's life. Some experience more, and others experience less; however, the winds of adversity do, indeed, come. Some even howl like a Category-5  hurricane that beats relentlessly on the shores of people's lives. Dear Christ Follower, some of you know precisely what I am saying. And I am here to tell you Jesus provides us with Stepping Stones fo...

2024 Let God Help Make Your Life Beautiful

Image
Ready or Not Here It Comes Leap year is upon us. Yep! We get to have one extra day on the calendar of 2024. And as the new year opens up before our very eyes, whatever we bring into this year -- good, bad, happy or sad -- will be a part of the fabric of this new year. For some of us this will be challenging. Why? Because some are really struggling with what is going on in our culture. Many are having to grapple with spiritual, emotional, relational, financial and/or physical struggles. And just because people are saying "HAPPY NEW YEAR" these challenges are still very real. So, how are we to get ready for this if the new year, in focus, appears anything but happy? But Remember -- God I have learned that when life meets us head on, it is important to think of all these challenges, but remember God:  As Christ Followers, you and I are not in this journey alone, and as the ancient wisdom of Ecclesiastes 3:11a teaches, "God makes ALL things beautiful in it's time." ...
