Sermon Notes for 01/11/2026

TITLE: Jesus' First Sign

SCRIPTURE: John 2:1-11

“Whatever Jesus tells you, do it!”

“They have no wine…” (v1-3)

• “On the third day…” was metaphorical - Jesus performed His 1st sign on the 3rd day; He was resurrected on the 3rd day
• Running out of wine was a social catastrophe
• Mary shows us what to do - Bring IT to Jesus!

“My hour has not yet come.” (v4)

• Jesus emphasized His divine timeline, and it’s not based on human urgency
• Yet, Jesus acts out of mercy and His mother’s faithfulness

“Fill the waterpots…” (v5-10)

• Jesus sees the waterpots commonly used for purification - 6 waterpots at 20-30 gallons each = 120-180 gallons
• Fill them, and take a cup to the headwaiter
• John does not specify when the transformation happened, but the water turned into the best wine
• Simple obedience to Jesus’ word transforms us!

Glory Revealed, Faith Strengthened (v11-12)

• Jesus has divine power
• He has compassion for human needs
• He transforms the ordinary (common) into something extraordinary (holy)!
• Every encounter with Jesus Christ should deepen our faith!

Mary’s words to the servants are God’s word to us today!
