  2. When lives fall short…...and Jesus steps in......people are saved......Jesus is glorified......and people put their faith in him.

  3. When lives fall short… “They have no more wine…” (v.3)

  4. Q: What spiritual value would most improve the city of London? Ken Livingstone: “Give people the gift of guilt. The acceptance of guilt leads to self-discipline rather than having to impose discipline.”

  5. …and Jesus steps in… ‘Why do you involve me?’ (v.4) is literally translated ‘What to me and to you?’ Jesus asks:‘Does this mean thesame to you as it means to me?’

  6. …people are saved… “you have saved the best till now” (v.10)

  7. …Jesus reveals his glory… Marks of the Messiah: New wine will drip from the mountains (Amos 9:13) The bride belongs to the bridegroom (John 3: 29) I will betroth you to me for ever (Hosea 2: 19)

  8. …and people put their faith in him. This, the first of the miraculous signs, Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee. He thus revealed his glory and his disciples put their faith in him. (John 2: 11)

  9. …and people put their faith in him. The miracles in John’s gospel are… “not just displays of raw power or conjuring tricks, but significant displays of power that point beyond themselves to the deeper realities that could be perceived with the eyes of faith.” Don Carson

  10. The thing we would remember from meeting a truly gospel-humble person is how much they seemed to be totally interested in us. Because the essence of gospel-humility is not thinking more of myself or less of myself, it is thinking of myself less. Tim Keller, The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness.

  11. When lives fall short…...and Jesus steps in......people are saved......Jesus is glorified......and people put their faith in him.
