The First Miracle In Cana
         (John 2:1-11)
Jesus had just selected his disciples. Their 
Faith in the divinity of their master should
Be strengthened.

Jesus, his mother Mary and his disciples
Were incited as guests at a wedding feast
In Cana of Galilee. In the midst of the happy
Festivities Mary noticed that the wine had
Been all used. She told this to Jesus. At the
Same time she told the servants to do what-
Ever Jesus would ask them to do.

 After a little while, when the lack of
Wine was noticed by all the guest, Jesus
Asked the servants to fill with water six big
Stone jugs which were in the room. After
They filled them up, Jesus blessed them.
Then he asked the servants to fill the wine
Pictures and bring them to the toastmaster.
 The toastmaster tasted the excellent wine
And not knowing that Jesus had just per-
Formed a miracle, went to the groom and
Said, "at other wedding feasts, the best
Wine is served first, but you have kept the
Best last".

Meanwhile, the miracle was disclosed by
The servants and everyone was amazed at
The change of the water into wine. This was
The first miracle of Jesus which showed his
Divinity.

I stand on the principle of me first


If you had to tell someone in ten words or less what you 
stand for in life, what would you say? It might be noble 
to speak of the liberation for all people of color, but 
what do you stand for? Perhaps you would take up the cause 
of starving or abused children, but what do you stand for? 
The freedom of political prisoners? Decent housing? 
Equitable distribution of food and natural resources? An 
end to all wars and warlike aggression? Or perhaps it's 
education? It is good, honorable and very noble to have a 
cause, but before you can do that, you must be able to 
stand on your own two feet. More battles are lost in this 
life to weary soldiers than are lost for lack of cause. 
What do you stand for? How about peace of mind, radiant 
health, truth and honesty, viable use of your God - given 
talents, gifts and abilities, or maybe just plain old love.
When you are standing on well - cared - for and rested feet, 
you will be victorious in any cause.


A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything
