Remember that Jesus enjoys sharing our joyous times in life. Vs. 5 - “Do whatever He tells you to do.” We need to seek to apply those words to the many experiences of our lives. Vs. 11 – The first time Jesus revealed His glory. Vs. 12 – Jesus goes home to spend time with His mother, brothers and disciples. Note: no mention is made of Joseph. The traditional belief is that he had died years before this. Vs. 13 – Passover. You may want to review this great event in Jewish history (see Exodus 12 and other references). Remember the innocent lamb was slain. John 1:29 (said about Jesus), “Behold the Lamb of God…!” Vs. 23, 24 – People began to trust Him, YET human nature was weak. Vs. 25 – Jesus knew their hearts THEN and He knows our hearts NOW! How and what do you feel (both good and also upsetting) because of this truth?

Jesus knew and knows my heart. I place the dividing line 30 years ago when I accepted Him as my Savior. He knew me then - when I was lost and loving my sin. He knows me now - when I am found by Him and hating my sin. For Him, there is no dividing line - for God is love. I want to let this affect me when I look at others, not knowing what side of the dividing line they are on - only knowing that they need my Savior also. ChriS
ChriS-
Thank you for your words! You are a blessing to us. May God use each of us to help the people in our lives cross that dividing line into His loving care!
