January 28: John 2:1-11

KJV Key Verse: John 2:5
  His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.

Devotion:
When Jesus was called upon by His mother to do something about the lack of wine at the wedding feast, it was not something that was happening every day but it was something she knew God would do. She had absolute faith in her son as the Son of God to do something to make sure the wedding feast would continue to be a celebration of the love between the two people being married.

Jesus did not have to do anything. He chose to do something and chose what to do as well. Jesus did not just make wine appear so everyone could have a great party. He chose to reveal Himself to a few servants and to His disciples. No big announcement was made other than this sentence to the servants to tell them to do whatever Jesus said had to be done. He chose to use the ordinary people of this world and the ordinary things of this world to bring forward something very special for all to enjoy.

Mary showed absolute faith in Jesus. The servants listened without question. The disciples stood in awe. What a fantastic picture of the way of Jesus ministry to different people in different ways. Our ministry to other people should not be to the chosen few that we think deserve it but to everyone around and in the way they need it. We don’t need to shout out the Gospel message in the streets for a person who is not going to be there; we need to share it where they are.

God has given us a task to take the Gospel out with us and share it to bring glory to God the Father through Jesus Christ. It is what we should do without question just like the servants did. Trust what God is telling you. Trust that it will be the right thing to do. Trust that God will get the glory, because He has said “do it!”

Points to Ponder:
Do you still make excuses?

Will you listen well?
