Glory of the Son - Part 1 (Cana Episode)

JOHN 17:1
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify Your Son, that Your Son also may glorify You.”

Intro
John uses some important terms again and again: Light, Truth, Love, Glory, Hour

We will look at some events where Jesus talks about this hour…

THE CANA EPISODE: REVELATION OF HIS GLORY
John 2


1. God’s Hour

Why did He say “What have I to do with thee?”

A Ministry that is
- Not compelled by need
- Not compelled by passion
- Not compelled by circumstances
- But by the Hour of God

Mary is the earthly mother, but the ministry belongs to the Eternal Father.
He was faithful as a Son (Heb 5)
He was obedient to death (Phil 2)

Dr. Kurien Thomas: I am a servant, but not a servant of men; I am servant of God.

2. Christ’s Glory

Why did He turn the water into wine?
Why didn’t He turn the stones into bread in the wilderness?
Why choose to do this miracle in a remote country like Cana? Why not start in Jerusalem?

Answer: To reveal His glory to His disciples

Some of His miracles were simply just for His disciples
- The Fish net
- The Fig tree
- The Feeding of the 5000
- This one

John 1:17; Rom.3:23; 2Cor.3:13-18; Col.1:27

“And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one” (John 17:22)

A Tale of Something, or Nothing, and God

In the beginning was God and nothing. Then, God created something out of nothing. But, soon that something forgot she was once a nothing. And, forgetting herself and God, she assumed herself to be everything. And, assuming herself to be everything, she died to everything else and God. After many days, when this something had run out of everything she got, She came to her senses and "Who am I? Where am I?" she thought. Then, she realized she was a nothing without her God, And so returned to her original place in God. In the end was God and something.

Reliability, Predictability, and Paul the Octopus

Paul the Octopus has recently become very famous after his predictions for Germany and Spain during the World Cup 2010 came right. The 100% accuracy tag distinguishes him from any other diviner who had attempted a prediction during the World Cup. There were responses and reactions from various people including sportsmen, statesmen, and mathematicians. Whatever, the use of Paul has demonstrated once again that mankind's search for an extra-temporal, psychic foresight has not quelled through the historical calendar returning a decade over this millennium. The question before us is can such predictions as those of Paul be counted on as reliable (in other words, can they be seriously taken as true)? The mathematicians have plumped for chance. It's all a matter of probability, they say ( BBC News ). However, the argument of chance in itself is weak. The mathematics of chance will calculate that the probability of Paul being right seven times out of seven is 1/128. But, the conclusi...

Father, You Are the Artist of Canvas and Paint - Poem

Father, You are the artist of canvas and paint, Color my life with your blue skies and rain, In places of sunshine and places of pain, Till I am a picture of Him. Chorus: Make me a portrait of Paint His love o’er my sin, Make Him ashine, like a light through Till I am a picture of Him Father, I am a canvas for you to create Capture the look of Your smile in my face, But when You paint problems, Lord fill with Your grace, Till I am a picture of Him. Father, You paint my future according to Your plan, I trust You though sometimes I don’t understand, The rainbow of reasons that flow from Your hands, Till I am a picture of Him. - Sigi Varghese (Shared by Thomas T. Varghese)
